Workers

I took the hammer drill and finished cutting out the groove to run the wire to the kitchen island.  It was some tedious work, but I got it done.  I have it just over an inch deep so that should be enough for the wires.  Clark spent the day putting in outlets.  Lorna was awesome and primed the master where I had resprayed texture.  It was a good busy day getting the house done!

Fixed and Broken

I installed bath faucets.  While I was cutting the pipe for the master tub, the copper pipe got squished and wouldn't cut!  I was so frustrated.  I stopped, but the damage had already been done.  Not sure how we are going to fix that!  The shower head went on nice and easy though and I think the handle is about ready to go on too.  I didn't expect this to be an issue!  

After texture and priming there are some areas that aren't that great.  I spent some time in the master sanding down some high spots and retexturing the wall.  Now I just need to reprime it.  It looks way better now.

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.
