A colorful Sunday night update...

Jason's notes: The entire inside of the house was painted over the weekend. Emma’s room is bright blue and Logan’s room is bright orange and both of them were ecstatic with how they turned out. Also, all of the outside lap siding was caulked and some parts were painted in the evening this past week. The deck is still on wheels (the rain didn’t allow for it to be installed so it’s still sitting on the trailer). The siding at the 1st floor is complete, just need to finish up the 2nd floor front side next weekend.

Sarah's notes: the green color in the house is the same throughout, it looks lighter in the office pics, but its dark like the paint in the front hallway. LOVE the paint. I brought out alot of the lighting today, Mark will be installing lights this week. The cabinets come Wednesday and the appliances come Friday. Jason clear coated all the interior doors today and painted the metal door frames as well.

Jason's notes: Drywall sanding is complete. Spent Sunday afternoon and evening vacuuming up sanding dust and scraping joint compound off the floors. Siding is 90% - need to put the flat stuff on the 2nd floor front side and have a few hours to finish up the laps above the front door. Exterior caulking was done on Sunday in preparation for the painting to get done next weekend. Interior painter starts tomorrow night. Doors are in the basement ready to be installed as soon as the painting is complete (Richard). Cabinets arrive in STL on Monday. Garage door needs some special track to clear a soffit so it couldn’t be put in on Friday, but should go in this week.

Sarah's note: Sunday cleaning of the floor was nasty work in my bare feet or I was tracking mud all around... Kiddos did great entertaining themselves for about 3 1/2 hours playing in the sprinkler, sliding on the rock pile, building forts in the barn and lining up nails... (Logan's work).

Sunday night update

I think I skipped a whole weekend from last week! We have been super busy on the house and the drywallers came last weekend and got all the drywall hung. Ian, Jason and I spent most ALL DAY Friday hauling out more than 6000 of trash materials out of the house.

From Jason: Carport retaining wall was built, fill was put in and finish grading was done around the house. More siding was put on and the drywall was hung in the basement. The tapers have 1 coat on everything throughout the house. Base course of gravel was put down for the driveway.
