July's Project is to finish the master bathroom. Jacuzzi bath installation and then tile work.

Shari's brother Bill came to install the tile...I did some tile cutting and "fetching", Shari kept us on task, well fed and watered and helped with the clean-up, tool finding and etc.

This was not an easy task.....but he did it....
What more can I say?
We will tile the counter another day.
And a job well done!

June's Project was in the Library upstairs and the Kitchen / Dining area

This phase included sheetrock finishing, primer paint and painting the Dining Room, Bay window and Kitchen. Colors are a "Touch of Violet and we will use a green trim and a gray ceramic tile floor.
Another shot. The other half of the cabinets and the floor tile will be next for this room leaving only the trimwork.
Chandelier was Shari's mother's from long ago.
Upstairs in Shari's Library and craft room. We have about thee more shelves to build, paint and place.

 

Shari and I started this project in 1992 and are still building it. Our goal was to finish before we retired, but we missed. We are moving ahead with the project and are having fun doing. it. There are about 4 areas left to complete; Living Room finishing, about half he cabinets and flooring in the kitchen, our master bathtub which only has a shower at the moment and some furniture. We hope to be complete by Dec. 2005
 
The House Love Built, Our and Gods Love!
Living Room on Carpte day.
Furniture back in place..
Front door area....note safe in lower left it it empty.
This shot is to show wall texture (Right)
Entertainment center will go here..note there is no trim in this room
No, I don't know why the thermostat is on this wall
The plan is to build a wall next to the stairs and 34" higher than the steps to act as a solid rail. This stair rail will be finished in the pine boards like the back wall.
Proper rigging is important...wish we had some.
