What's Happening Now: Late December
|
| |
Flooring
They've nearly finished laying the maple floor -- milled from big-leaf maple trees cut on site -- in the great room. |
|
|
The alder floors in the master and guest bedrooms are complete. This was particularly challenging since alder wood has a stong tendency to twist and bow. Spencer and Jeff used shorter pieces of wood, and took the time to carefully cut them so they fit tightly together. |
|
|
Doors
All of the doors on the upper floor are made of knotty alder, which looks great with the alder floors. The only doors that remain are the doors on the office, the guest bath, and the pantry, along with four pocket doors and the bifold doors on three closets. Then we'll need to add the doorknobs! |
|
|
The "Bug Room"
We've finished paneling the wall with cedar ship-lap and, above it, shingles. |
|
|
Tile
(Yet to be done is the tile work in the guest bath -- some work first needed to be done on the plumbing there, which is now complete. We expect that the guest bath will be completed in the next couple of weeks.) |
|
|
Countertops
We think the colors are turning out beautifully. |
|
|
Measurements have been made for quartz countertops in the kitchen, and they're currently being fabricated. We expect them to be installed in the next couple of weeks. |
|
|
Cabinet Hardware
By our count, there were 54 knobs! |
|
|
Lighting
They've been installing light fixtures inside and -- even in the snowy weather -- outside. |
|
|
The electricians have also been finishing up the electrical outlets and phone/cable outlets. |
