Tape, Float, Texture....

It has been a few weeks since the last update, but that does not mean work has stopped. If anything it seems to be picking up pace. Since the last post the walls are completely done. They have finished hanging the sheetrock, taped and floated and taped and floated again (probably almost one week) and sprayed texture on the walls. We have ordered our appliances (will be delivered to the house May 19) and met with the cabinet and trim contractor. The sand has been delivered for the floor mud base which should get started today 3-27 or Monday 3-30. The interior trim and doors will be delivered on Monday 3-30 and the cabinet contractor expects to start next Thursday 4-2. It definitely is beginning to feel like a real home. Enjoy the pictures. I will try to update more often once things begin on the inside.

There is so much waste in building a house.


Bags of foam insulation.


All the recent rains have made the road in and out a little messy.


Garage


Living Room looking into Kitchen and Breakfast area.


Mud makes it difficult to get around.


Oh, I forgot to mention the front door was stained and sealed on the 19th. It is Chestnut. Hard to get a good color photo. This will be the same stain used throughout the inside.




Garage


Tried to give a photo of the textured walls, but not quite so easy.


Nice clean sand for the floor mud base.


When the texture was sprayed on the walls it covered everything from floor to sealing. At least they covered the important thing like doors, windows, and fireplace before they started.
