Looking like home.
Jim hung his ducks and pheasant over the doors.

Starting to move in!

My long-awaited front porch swing!
Bonus room - bring your own sleeping bag!
This is a view from the back.
Cleaning and appliances installed makes all the difference!

Here's a video:

Almost Done

We now have a rug in the great room - all of the tools for construction were moved to the garage.
Look at how nice the floors cleaned up!
The posts and railings being finished sure adds a lot.
Instant lawn.

Getting anxious to finish!

Part of the reason that the house is taking so long is the time consuming details like these shelves beside the window in Mom's room.
Are we anxious to move in? Look at our living room in Springfield PACKED with furniture!
We now have stair railings and then the railings around the top floor overlooking the great room and kitchen - nice!

Here is a short video clip:

Carpets & Railings

Basement carpet looks light - we will have to keep the mud out!
Bonus room carpet looks good - lots of places to hide in here!
Grading, gravel and railings have been the work of the week.

Family Pictures on the Deck

Lots of work has been done on the house - check out the floors! Lisa came in from Oregon and we arranged for Sue & John Moore to take some pictures before my hair falls out from the chemotherapy! Gotta beat back the cancer so we can party at the housewarming. They tell us 3 weeks or so til completion.

Tubs & Tiles

This is the tile on the wine cellar side complete with wino at the other end!
Is this the cutest tub you have ever seen?

Flooring fans

From the second floor, the bamboo flooring is in place but not yet nailed down; it is so hard that it broke the nail gun. The replacement nailer comes on Tuesday.

Fans in the great room.

Lights on the first floor walkway.

Tile in the basement

Here's today's video:

Trim and Bathrooms

The tile floor in "Mom's" bathroom is now done.
The master bathroom tile looks great.
This is the wall on the between the upper part of the kitchen and the great room - it used to just insulation but it now looks like logs!

Here is today's video:

Doors, Floors and Tiles

The interior doors are being put in place and stained - good for playing "Hide and Seek!"

This is a tile that I found in Eugene, OR and had installed in the upstairs bathroom.
The floors on the second level are being sanded and then will be finished with a clear coat.

Here's today's video tour!
