Day 75 |
|
Dec. 9, 2009 |
For the most part, doing some misc framing on the lower level today.
- This is Adam's closet, which is up against the bathroom wall.
The square is like a little laundry door, so that all he has to do
is open the door, put his clothes in, and they will fall into a
clothes hamper in the closet. The idea is of course, there
will be no excuse not to pick his dirty clothes up off the floor.
Let's see if this theory works and for how long ............

- This is another small bedroom off the poker/card table room.
Most of the guest bedrooms are small, especially those on the lower
level. Just a sleeping room really, big enough for a bed and a
small closet.

- This was actually done yesterday, but I just noticed it today,
the siding on the back side.

- This was a couple days ago also, but another angle. This
was roughed in just enough for the kitchen sink plumbing.
There will be a farm sink and more bar needs to be built yet.

the porch will be wrapped like this.
