In all his free time...

I was lucky enough to find a great swing set on Craigslist last week. So, for Mother's Day, Eben took a break from the big house and built a little one for the kids. This is as much a gift for me as it is for them, since they can now entertain themselves right here at home! What a find!
Now it's back to the real house. We'll be hanging the rest of the facia in the evenings this week, so that the roof can go on. We found an amazing price on roofing and will be doing a combo of metal and composite.
All the finishes except for the floor and the trim have been ordered, which is exciting. We'll be working on painting and tiling the shower soon.

Onto the finishes!

Well, the drywall is in and textured.
I still can't believe how much work this has been and that Eben has built this whole place. It's pretty amazing now that it is all coming together. We are getting excited! Above is the laundry area of the garage and where the furnace and hot water heater will be. The door goes out to the backyard.
Here's most of the rest of the garage.


Here's our mudroom to be! The shot is taken from what used to be the front door and will soon be a glass door. The stairs below go up to the new living space.


Here is the great room up there.
This corner is where the wet bar will be and the door goes into the bathroom.

Here's the door into the bedroom.
And here is the bedroom with a view of the loft.
Here's the bathroom, toilet on right and vanity will be on left behind that wall.
Shower!
And here's the pony wall in the great room. The stairs go down from the landing on the right.Kind of confusing, I am sure, but you're welcome to come up and see it for yourself. We're working on getting a real roof on soon. As the rain is pouring down outside, we'll just hope for no leaks.
We're choosing floors and tile and painting should be happening in a week or so. We've ordered cabinets, knotty alder. It's all coming together!
