Painting in the summer?

Today was in the high twenties, so why not take advantage and paint the porch surround?  Awesome!

Front Door

Look while you can because this door will be covered up until move in!  The door looks great!

Landscaping and Carpentry

While Juvee continued to work away...

The landscape guys came to prepare the front landing and porch for flagstone and an interlock border along the sides of the driveway.

Finish carpentry progress

Juvee was making great progress on the doors upstairs today.  I love these solid, executive shaker doors from Victoria Strong.

Tile complete, trim started!

JSC Contracting arrived to start the trim and doors today.  We've gone with a back-band on top of 3.5" beveled casing, and a 7 1/4" one step beveled baseboard.  So far, so good!

Freddy was in today to finish off the master and basement tiled areas, installing the Caesar stone shower jambs in the master and finally, grouting all of the tiled surfaces.  He may have a few touch ups tomorrow and then he's done until we have the kitchen in.

All covered up

Now that the floors have been finished, we need to protect them for the next phase of the interior build - the trim and paint.  Mick, my trusty painter, was in today to protect those floors from all of the activity to come.

Tile accent

We've opted for three blue accent strips in the kids bathroom which look kind of cool.  Fred was in today, working late into the night, to get ahead of the tiling job.
