August 2017 Loft Bathroom

The loft bathroom tiles are also installed. As noted in the previous post, it has not been grouted yet.

I did a different border in the loft bathroom from what I did in the master bathroom.

I lowered the ceiling at the rear of the loft bathroom so moist air escapes towards the exhaust fan easier. These ceiling boards were coated on all sides with clear coat. I also coated the logs in the ceiling with an oil based clear coat to protect from moisture.
                             
                                                          This is the last post for 2017.

August 2017 Master Bathroom Tile

I tiled the floor and the walls in the Master Bathroom. I did not grout the tile because my well pump failed. Grouting the tile in the Master Bathroom and the Loft Bathroom will be one of my first two projects in 2018, once I've installed my new well pump.

I placed the water valve for the tub on the side for easy access for anyone in the tub. 

August 2017 Master Bathroom Ceiling and Lights

I installed a tongue and groove pine ceiling in the master bathroom. These boards are clear coated on all sides to prevent any moisture damage. I also installed all the lights in the bathroom.

August 2017 Back Hall and Laundry Area

This is the back hall, opposite the laundry area. The plan is to place a coat rack on the left side and a bench seat on the right.

This is the laundry area. I installed an electric outlet for the dryer, and water outlet and drain for the clothes washer. We will eventually install cabinets over this area for storage. I installed power above the clothes washer area so I can install under cabinet lights in the future.

August 2017 Main Floor Walls

 All of the walls on the main floor are now taped and painted. I also installed all outlets, lights, light switches and smoke detectors.

2017 Garage Loft End Gables

   The sheetrock walls in the house will be ready for paint on Monday, August 21'st. I decided to tape and mud the garage end gables and paint them when I get the rest of the interior house painting completed.

    I will finish installing the loft ceiling, and trim out the garage loft and main floor windows when the house is completed.

2017 Insulation all complete

  I bought enough insulation to insulate the mechanical room again, and the hallway to the mechanical room. (I had removed most of the ceiling, and some of the wall insulation to install plumbing drains, water lines and electrical wiring. I installed the used insulation in other parts of the house just to keep it off the floor and out of the way.)

Insulation can be miserable to install, so I decided I would get the rest of the insulation I need and finish it. The entire house is now complete.
