Flooring

The radiant tubing is down on the first floor and we are beginning the hardwood flooring! We found this beautiful, old, salvaged, wide oak plank flooring and I think it is going to be perfect in this space. We decided to use cork for the second floor, flooring which will hopefully be a little more comfortable in a kid's bedroom. We have also sprayed the entire house with primer and have just about one coat of the finish color on as well.
Thank you so much, Phil, for your help and the use of your sprayer. We began the process of painting the window trim which seems like it is going to take a while. It is coming down to crunch time since I am already in my 8th month of pregnancy, but we are still hopeful to be moved in to the house in time!!

Painting and lots more..

This window sill was made from the palownia tree we cut down on the property.
 Master shower taking shape.
 Thank you to Phil who came and helped us prime the whole house (except basement) in one day!!

 Kenny taping the beams.
 Rachel covering the windows.
 Cedar finding a warm place to sleep.
 Jesse cleaning the beams in the master bed.
 Back porch steps.

 So basically the entire exterior is finished, minus a little painting and shutters.  


 Ella and Thatcher helping cart drywall pieces to the dumpsters.
 Jesse trying his hand at the paint sprayer.

 At least it's non-toxic paint!!
 Old barn boards used for the stairs out of the basement.
