Cabinets

We ordered cabinets for the bathrooms so we could set up the vanities.  Clark and Lorna were a great help and we got them built pretty quickly.  I got them set up in their spaces, even if we still need to cut out holes for the water.  Clark brought in the doors and placed them around the house so we can install them soon.  We also got the double oven from the barn so it can get hooked up!  Things are really starting to come together!

Primed!

Jeff sprayed primer on the whole inside of the house!  It was a lot of primer and I even had to run to the store to get more so we could finish it.  It went pretty fast and spraying it was truly a blessing.  We even had time to install the front door by the end of the day!  What an amazing day!  Jeff got pretty white!

Texture Time

The mudding is done... time to texture!  Clark would spray the texture and I would knock it down.  When we got to the office and mud room I stayed on the scaffolding and sprayed the texture and Lorna helped do the knock down on the lower sections.  It took a few days, but we got the whole house done!

More Mud

It was a great day getting mud done!  Lots of screw holes covered and second coat started.  We are all a bit covered in mud. Jeff especially ended up with a white bottom :).  It was a great day working with the kids!

Ceiling and Corners

It's been a few weeks of mudding... but we are almost done.  It's great to see the ceiling and corners get covered.

A Slight Dusting and Mud

We got just a bit of snow at the ranch.  Well, by the time we got there it was mostly melted, but there was a tiny bit of evidence.  It is sure nice to work inside on the house with the heater running!  We have been working hard and now have the walls all mudded with tape!  Just the whole ceiling and second coat to go :).

Beginning Mud

The mudding and taping has begun!  It took a bit of time, but we have started!  Jeff got going and then taught me.  Clark learned next.  There are now three of us to get this work done!  Hopefully the speed picks up!
With Jeff being sick and the kids visiting for Christmas we are so behind on this house build... we are not going to get it done by the end of the month to move.  We talked to Matt, our landlord, and asked about another extension.  He was good with it so we are now working toward the end of February.  We still have a lot to do, but I think we can make this deadline!
