Last stages on the addition

This is so cool to watch how they do things with trucks and lifts....here they are doing what they call "loading the house" with sheet rock.

It is all in now and you can see the home is all insulated. They have used some new cotton fibers it was very soft and fluffy.

So Cliff , Kevin and Tom started putting up bead board on the walls....I have always wanted this on my walls......

It just reminds me of a cool old cabin in the woods....

Next day the sheet rockers came in and started hanging it on the ceiling first.....

At the end of the day they where done and we made a deal to clean up the piles : )

This is in the bedroom at the top or what I call the gable peak they turned the boards over and they are flat ( the bead board is only on one side of this 1 x 8) and they laid it Horizontal.

The next day the tapers came in and taped all the joints....and then plastered the sheet rock.

So once that was done Cliff got out his sprayer and primed all the sheet rock after Tom had put plastic over all the wood walls.

On the outside Dylan & Noah built a ramp at the Entry....but ran out of Evergrain ( brand name )it is a composite decking we love it......... never will do real wood on decks again...sorry if you are a purest we just don't like the care that wood takes....

New day new color.... Sage in the great room. You can also see the vinyl got laid down the blue tape is to keep us from walking on the seams for an hour.

Cabin Red is the color in the bedroom this is the first coat of 2 which is normal with red paint .

This is the finished red and looking into the Blue bath.....Red for my dad and blue for my mom : )

Next day our friend Shore came over to help so he is putting clear interior varithane on the wood for us and being watched by the carpet layers who are also here working.

Carpet in bedroom , plumbing and wiring in the bathroom.

This is another grand puppy of ours this is Bones who is testing the carpet for us....

We needed to do deck railing off the back side of the addition and so we are using hog wire fencing and to hold it in place top and bottom again using the Evergrain . We really like using these products low maintenance and the wire is something that doesn't really block the view.

Tom and our other son Justin are cutting while the above picture shows Cliff marking a board to make the log cuts.

Here you can see how nice it looks from the inside....don't you love the big windows......

Once again the big boy toys are put to use. A couple of years ago we bought this small dump trailer and it is so nice to have around....here they are dumping some gravel to even out the ground from the drive to the ramp...later we will do black top or pavers....

The only thing missing is the hand rail........stay tuned the move has happened and so we are almost ready for the finished pictures of the parents new home....and we are back into our kitchen with our new cabinets coming this next week : )
