Doors Refinished

I finally found a few hours over the past few weeks (Raya time) to sand the doors and oil them. Mr. Shumate painted the eave beaded ply for us this week and I installed it today. Almost really done.

Finishing

The drywall was finished this week and I painted the walls and installed the trim.

Table

We wanted a longer/narrower dining table for quite some time. With a baby on the way, we gave up on finding an heirloom quality piece of furniture. We decided to make something simple using a groovy Formica sheet and keep it simple...modern retro to go with the Eames plywood chairs.

Insulation/Drywall

Siding Finished

I finished installing the bead board under the eaves .Siding on the north side with 2nd set of French doors.

Roofing

I hired a contractor to do the roof. This will be the only thing except the concrete that we hire someone else to do. Standing seam, snap lock, galvanized steel . I was considering doing this myself also, but after seeing that it has taken 2 guys at least 18 hours to get to here, I am glad I hired it out.

Siding

After changing our minds several times, I decided to use up the 80 year old clear douglas fir siding from the old garage. I had saved it all and removed the nails from demolition. The exterior side was a mess with lots of old flaking paint (probably mostly lead). Since it was rabbited clapboard siding, it could be flipped and turned upside down to make flat face ship lap siding. It looks great after rough sanding it with 40 grit on the random orbital and putting a oil finish on. We may end up painting it after the years make it fade, but it looks nice for now.
The doors are old 4 x 7.5 douglas fir 12 panel pocket doors from the salvage store. They weigh a ton.
We were thinking of shingles in the gable, but kept the shiplap all the way up.
