Trim & Paint continues

John Morris's team continues to make great progress in the house. This past week they spent most of their time finishing trim work on two tray ceilings & completed bead-board trim in guest bed, powder room and entry bench area. Trimmers have also completed most of the closets in the house. Closet details are one of John's signatures in his custom houses. He really does a great job maximizing storage space. Cleto's framing team returned to install the columns and railing on the riverside decks. And late on Friday afternoon the entry door was delivered and installed. The house is pretty well buttoned up now from the elements. This week the team will finish interior trim work, start prime & paint on walls, and start laying tiles in the master bath shower.

No pix to post today :(
We spent most of the weekend doing an 'owner project' on the house. Steve & I made 'a deal' with John and identified a few construction tasks that we could complete to save costs. This weekend we began work installing a cedar-plank cathedral ceiling in the den. Learning curve was rough on Saturday, but we improved dramatically today. Should take us just a day or two more and we'll have it complete. It will really look good, and will be nice to gaze up at it and fondly remember all the 'fun' we had installing it, ha!
