About Me

I wanted to thank everyone who was interested in my house construction. Despite how much I hate blogs this would be the easiest way for me to share the progress. No talk about me standing in line at Target or other stuff no one cares about. Just construction, Good and bad.

The summer of no work?

I reached "substantial completion" at the end of May. I'm happy to report I have done little to no work since then. My goal for the summer is to NOT WORK ON MY HOUSE... Of course a number of things have come up in other parts of the house and I still have to finish painting trim and staining the stairs in the basement. 

Last weekend I just about finished painting the trim. Here is a shot... exciting I know.



Tonight after work I went and picked up the stain for the floor. Last week I had done a couple of test pieces and decided on a natural oak finish. The darker stains were not going well with the tile.  I may put one more coat on there. If not I will have to do the sealer / hardener. I'm trying to get this all done before Saturday when my roomate gets how.

A few before / after shots:
