August 2016 Basement bedroom nearing completion

      The basement bedroom is nearing completion. The ceiling and accent wall have been installed, the window has been trimmed out, the sheet rock walls are complete and painted, and most of the wall trim has been installed. The last small pieces of wall trim, and the baseboard trim will be installed after the carpet goes in on September 7th. The bedroom door will be installed as soon as the carpet is in. Once the baseboard trim is installed, I can hook up and install the baseboard heater in this room. The room is scheduled to be completed by the end of next week, September 10th.

August 2016 Steps to deck completed

I finally replaced the logs used for steps going onto the deck with the permanent steps. The logs were getting warped and turning very gray.

August 2016 Basement bedroom closet/storage

Finished the closet except for the door, grouting the tile floor, and installing the baseboard trim. I'll grout the tile tomorrow, and install most of the baseboard trim on Tuesday. The final trim will be installed next week with the door, after the bedroom carpet is installed.

August 2016 Basement kitchen area completed

Finished the wall in the kitchen area of the basement and installed some cabinets. 

August 2016 Wood Stove installed

 Finally installed the wood stove. Had the first fire to make sure everything worked properly, and to season the stove and pipes. Very little odor and no leaks.
