  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.

  • Pond is at a stand still

Dec. 8, 2009
  • This is what 12,000 pounds of flooring looks like
