Week 11 was filled with the installation of sheetrock and the start of sheetrock finishing. Rain returned this week and put a halt to the brick work which only lacks one to two days to finish. Week 12 started with more rain/snow mix which meant that brick work was still on hold. Today was cold and snowy but that didn't stop the installation of hardiboard on the front second story of the house. We provided Tim with a list of paint colors from Kim at Just So. The Hardiboard will be painted a dark gray color and the front door will be stained Chestnut color. The sheetrock finishing is close to being finished. The cold temperatures and all the moisture we have experienced has slowed efforts but they should be done later this week.
Katie and I are still finalizing our choice on floors. Jason at Valley Building Supply offered to order two boxes of different grades of Brazilian Cherry to help us decide which to buy. We are also finalizing the style of interior door.
As soon as it dries up Tim would like to finish grading the front and garage side of the house. This will need to be completed to allow concrete trucks access to pour the front porch and garage floor. Tim is also looking to start work on building the rear deck. Unfortunately we only have one day of dry warm temperatures in the forecast before we see another drop accompanied by snow flurries. Hopefully it will be dry enough to finish sheetrock finishing and allow them to start priming the walls for paint.
