Progress Update

The summer is coming to an end. Each day I feel the warm sun on my face, I make a check off on my mental count down to say good bye. Good bye to the sun. Until then there is no place in the country like the Seattle area in the summer. The sky is bluer than blue and the temperature is perfect. Though I have heard a few complaints on days it reaches over 80, but to me it is perfect!

The roof is on, the siding is up, the exterior doors are installed and the sheetrock is hung. You can see Fall trying to creep it's way in with the occasional rain shower. These little showers are pushing back our window of opportunity to paint the exterior.

Here are some pictures of the progress...

Both of the pictures above are of the back side of the house looking from the backyard.

The entryway. We decided to frame a little pop-out (not sure of the technical construction term) in the entryway for a little separation from the great room. I think it will make it feel more like a real foyer. We will see.

Basement bar.

 

Master bathroom tub area.

 

Bonus room window seat. There was a little indent in the framing where the window pops out on the front of the house, so I decided to make it a window seat. Note: This window will never be unlocked or open due to the fact I have a son who thinks he can fly.

The preparation for the box beams in the Dining Room.

The great room looking from the living area into the eating and kitchen area.

 

Olen's bedroom / gymnastics balance beam practice area.

Lila, Olen and I made up a new song we like to sing..

."Rain, rain, go away, we would like to paint our house today."
