  Day 145 - 147 (Work days since Framing started + 15 work days for foundation
Mar. 17 - 19, 2010  Remember - Not finished, but here are a few preliminary photos of the interior.
  • Only working bathroom, the wooden bear bathroom on the main floor.  Still need to decorate and hang the stained glass in the window, but there is hot and cold water in the sink, the toilet flushes, and the tub fills and drains with hot and cold water.  AAhhh life's simple pleasures.

The faucet needs to be changed out to Oil Rubbed Bronze, and the toilet hardware was suppose to be ORB but already installed before I realized it.  But at this point, I really don't care.  My story is I planned it that way, and I am sticking to it.

 

  • Laundry Room - More base cabinets coming and sink needs hooked up.  This is also the mudroom, and the bench and cubby cabinets are still on the way.  BUT the washer and dryer are hooked up and working!! Yeah!!

 

  • The cabinet unit for the frig and freezer isn't ready yet, but the f&f are working.

 

  • Few shots of the foyer.  Fish tank is installed.  The stair steps still need to be stained and varnished.  Fountain will go on the right side.  More decor like lamps, mirrors, plants, etc coming.
