Primmed and Ready to Paint

The whole house has been painted with primer and is ready for paint!  We aren't sure what colors we are using, so the painting step may take a bit of time.  Next step, paint ceilings white, & pick up tile that's been ordered and install!

Here are pictures of the rooms with primer on walls and ceiling!

                                 

Drywall Complete

DRYWALL is DONE!  

It's been a minute since our last post so I thought I'd update you all on where we are at with the house.  We are well into summer now and the house progress has slowed even more with all of the other projects we have going on and trying to enjoy the summer and river life. The drywall has all been hung, taped, and mudded.  Here are a few pictures.

                   

                                                                                                                                        

Spring has sprung

S P R I N G! 

It's one of our favorite times of year when the weather finally turns, the sun is out, and spring yard projects are in full swing!  This year we found ourselves scratching our heads going, what in the world do we do first?  There is so much to do in our yard, yet we are not quiet at the stage of landscaping!  Normally in Spring I've already had my window boxes and planters full of Spring flowers, however with this years unpredictable weather and all this dirt/mud I've not felt up to the task.  So this spring we decided just to do some mulching.  It really has helped things looked cleaned up and just what our yard needed.   Here's B on top of the mulch pile pushing down the mulch to the trailer.  

                                            

We also decided to take on the task of taking down one of our trees last week.  In our plans we knew the time would come to take it down, we were just waiting for the right day this spring to tackle this big project.  We really didn't want to take down another tree, and I didn't want to take this one down in particular... however we had to but plan to put more trees back into our yard once we are at the landscaping stage.

Drywall Hung

Drywall is now almost all hung, and we are almost ready for taping and mudding. Every stage of the project has felt more and more like things are actually coming together to make a house.  With drywall up and the rooms actually being divided up as their own spaces makes it look and feel more like a house.  Yippee!

Starting Drywall

Now we are almost up to speed... 
It's Saturday April 7th, and we picked up some drywall on Thursday.  Brandon has been working on the ceilings first and I would say we have about 2/3 of the ceilings hung.  Here's a few pictures to show where we are as of today...

Brandon using his new (used) drywall lift.  This baby has been very handy while installing the drywall on the ceiling as it holds it in place while he screws in the pieces.  No holding the drywall in place and feeling the muscle burn any longer. haha!
