It's Fixed

The counter in the ensuite got replaced.

It's no longer four inches too short!

Headers are up in the great room - over the living room window

and the dining room window.

The painters are coming tomorrow to fill holes and sand a few things, then they'll start adding some color!

We Have Lino!

We have lino in our house! This is the lino in the mud room. Should be good for hiding dirt!

The same lino is in the laundry room.

This is the girls' bathroom. Now that the lino's in they can put up the baseboards in these rooms. Not that the mud room will have much - it'll all be covered up by benches.

We have another header up in the office. It's a big one!

And the beadboard is finished in the powder room. (No this is not the finished color!)

Beadboard

Finally some fun stuff is going in! This is called beadboard and it's in the powder room. It's kinda like wainscoting only it looks like individual pieces of wood instead of fancy trim. Wainscoting will be going in the office. The baseboards are up in all the bedrooms.
Not sure what this is all about. I gues the outlet got put a little higher than the rest so he had to raise the baseboards a bit here in the girls room? Just this one spot, though.
The siding guy took down all his scaffolding today, so I guess that means he's done. He's been mostly done for a while, he was just waiting for some wood to finish the trim in the back.

First Base

The first of the baseboards went up today.

The plugs are in the baseboards instead of on the drwall.

Here you can see the plug, the vacuum outlet and the cold air return in the hallway upstairs beside the main bathroom.

We have one header on a window on the main floor. This is the powder room.

Still lots more to go, though. Yesterday they worked at 12 hour day. Today was more normal.

Heads Up!

The headers are all in upstairs.

I didn't realize they were going not only over the doors,

but over the closets and windows, too.

Looks mighty fancy-shmancy!

And the trim is around the front door, making it look more finished, too.

I heard talk of baseboards going in upstairs. Baseboards around carpeted areas goes in now, but they'll come back later and put in baseboards around hard wood areas after that's been installed.

Kick Me

The kick boards under the cabinets in the ensuite are in place. But not anywhere else.

There's also subfloor in there, ready for tile to be laid.

Window sills and the trim around the window are in place.

Soffit is in on the front porch and everywhere else.

The trim around the edge of the corners

and windows are up and ready to be painted.

Yesterday

The siding is being worked on today, but that's about it because it's a holiday. Darcy painted a bit of fascia because the scaffolding was in the right place. Sorry, no pic.

But yesterday the siding around the front door got finished.

And the rest of the sub flooring for the lino got put in. This is the main bathroom

This is the mud room.

And some more headers got put up. This is the door over the girls' bedroom.

The Sub

The sub-floor for the laundry room was installed today, and the main bathroom one is going in today, too. More siding is going up, but mostly it's been right against the trees, hence no pictures. But I think this afternoon it's going up around the front porch.

Window Sill

We have window sills everywhere on the main floor

And in a few places upstairs.

More to come tomorrow

They also moved the shower base back a bit. It was very close to the light switches so we decided to back it up a bit.

And this vent in the master bedroom was in exactly the wrong spot for the baseboards, so they raised it about 4 inches.

The siding guy will be done by Saturday, he figures.

The soffit here (the side of the garage) has been done for a while, I just kept forgetting to take a picture of it! He's putting it in place as he goes.

Crowned

The foyer got crown moulding yesterday.

And the upstairs door headers are all ready to be nailed in place.

I tried to go talk to the finish guy about the bookshelves around the fireplace but he's nowhere to be found!

Close En-Counters

The counter tops have arrived! This is a close up of the kitchen counters.
Here is the laundry room
This is the girls' bathroom
Here is the ensuite. They sent a guy out to measure all the counters a few days ago, but I guess he measured wrong because there's about a 4-inch gap in here for some strange reason. Oh well, it's their fault so they'll be fixing it!
And here's the (very dusty) powder room.
There are headers on the door casings now.
They make it look very impressive! Especially after everything's painted.
And a bit more of the siding got done.
It's all trimmed around the window, ready for siding to come here on the front porch. I don't think it'll take them too many more days to finish up the siding, then they do the soffit and then they're done and we're ready for rock!
