Almost there!

The house is almost ready for us to move into. Unfortunately, we have a blue norther coming in on Thanksgiving day, so we can't move in until the woodstove is installed. We sealed the floors with 2 coats of polyurethane. They shine like glass, a really wonderful look. Still unable to transfer photos to my computer.

After the woodstove, we will concentrate on the exterior - finally. Porch railing, steps, porch ceiling fans, and siding.

My camera stopped working

I have gobs of pictures, but my camera refuses to transfer them to my computer. I will keep working on it.

The house is very near completion. It has been sheetrocked, taped and bedded, and painted on the interior. It looks outstanding! I'm very pleased with the work we've done. We installed the kitchen counter top yesterday, and will be doing the bathroom counter top today, along with painting the window sills and baseboards. After that, we will be installing the wood stove and sealing the floors. I'm keeping the original floors, as they are solid mohogany. But they have been treated with insecticides (as are all shipping containers), so they need to be sealed. I don't want to be walking around on insecticides, and I sure don't want my pets walking around on them.

We still have exterior work to do. The porch railing, steps, and siding. Stay tuned!

The porch is on.

The porch is on. It goes around 3 sides of the house, and is covered with Olympia Honey Brown wood preservative. The railing is yet to be added.
