December 5, 2010: Details, Details

Darrin and Eric worked on various other details around the house while Roger and Bennett cleaned up and moved lots of stuff to get ready for Calvin's team to come in on Monday to paint the outside. David Wong dropped by for a little while to help as well.


Darrin straightened the drawers and installed the pulls.


With David's help he also installed the quarter rounds over the flooring and baseboards.


And before Eric had to go run his errands, he worked on the master bedroom closet.

November 19, 2010: More Corner Rounds

Woke up this morning to the dulcet tones outside my window of... the planer, eating away at the imperfections in the beams of wood, which would next be shaped on the router to become corner rounds for the floorboards.



Other little details completed were the access panel to the attic and the floorboards in the utility area.


Caught Bennett relaxing for a moment...

November 18, 2010: Tiling the Servant's Entrance

Eric and Roger finished the hall flooring.


Then they worked on the landing to the back entrance.

November 17, 2010: Hall Flooring

It's cool--and reassuring--to see how the work area is constantly kept in a state of cleanliness and order even though aspects of the construction are constantly changing.


Today Eric and Roger worked on the hall flooring.


And the countertop guy from Aloha State Sales came to take measurements for the bathroom vanities.

November 11, 2010: Lots Going On!

Today's a federal holiday, and our house is more full of construction workers than we've seen for a while!

David the tiler got hired for a union job, so Bradley and his son Braeden came to finish grouting the master bathroom.



Mark mudded the rest of the drywall entry between the houses.


Darrin and Roger worked on finished the exterior trim.



Eric and Bobby installed the blowers and the stainless steel cover for the range hood.


Oh, and by the way, Bennett took many of the photos today (including this work of art!) while I was out all day with various girlfriends celebrating my birthday!

Bobo worked on some of the electric stuff on the island and worked with Eric to install the pantry and hall lighting.


So, lots of things getting done in and on the house today! Flooring, floorboards, appliances... we finally see the end in sight!


Randomness...

The screen in the guest room that we use at night to block out the street light that shines into the room...


The dog who is slowly getting used to his new routine, with his "brother"...


And Jody came by to visit and check out the progress...

Looking forward to when John visits as well... once he's done with his Mideast tour.
