Wood Framing arouond Windows and Doors




Much has been happening since I last posted. The hardwood floors are now in place - (complete,- except for sanding and a finish which will be one of the last things). The tile man has been in the process of laying tile in the bathrooms, and laundry/utility room. He has completed most of the work, except for the half bath, and grouting the laundry room. I have been busy priming wood trim, and baseboards -(my excuse for not posting). I managed to get most of it primed before they started putting it up. It is definitely much easier to prime before it goes up! The building crew,in just a few work days, has made good progress trimming the windows and doors, and putting down baseboard. I am now in the process of puttying nail holes on the wood trim they have put up,(getting it ready to sand and paint). Also, tomorrow I start painting doors. Hopefully I will be able to paint them before they go up!

Painting and Floors

L's bedroom.



On Monday Feb. 23rd the sealer was sprayed on the ceilings. Then on Tuesday touch up on the drywall was completed. Finally on Wednesday, Feb 25th I started painting! That is, I started painting the ceilings, and putting the prime coat on the walls. A professional painter came on Thursday and painted the ceiling in the foyer, and started on the larger main floor ceilings. He also primed the foyer walls. He returned on Saturday and finished the living room ceiling. Finally on Saturday March 14th I finished all the painting I can do for now. It has been 2-1/2 weeks of painting ceilings, and priming walls- closets and all!
Other work happening on the house during this time include the installing of garage doors on Thursday February 26th, and on Friday, March 13th the builders started putting down hardwood flooring.
