Drywall, taping, muding and sanding are finally at an end and the drywall is being spray painted with a couple of primer coats to seal it. Roy and I masked all the windows in preparation.
A coat of white paint makes such a difference. The space is beautiful, open and airy. I chose a colour for the main living space and Tom is going to spray it on for me...it's a soft yellow-green... Chartreuse? The kitchen cabinets are white, counter tops are black and the floors are dark gray so a bright and lively color is called for. We'll know instantly if this is a mistake...
We've had a guy in to "Schluter"(waterproof membrane) the showers. We've chosen some nice white tile and that should get installed over the next week or so.
On another front: the "front lawn" is being dug up for what I hope will be the last time as the Type 1 septic system goes in. Two large concrete tanks to the side of the house and the septic field goes in the front to be as far from the creek as possible. Once this is done we can start to install plumbing fixtures ( bye-bye Porta Potty) and have running water.
We received our wall package on October 13th, so it's been 3 full months of construction and Roy and I are tired and can hardly wait to get in and get settled. Maybe early February..
