Trim

Jim came out to help me do the window trim. Made it all out of salvaged douglas fir from the house so of course it took twice as long. First you have to choose and mill the wood before you can actually do the trimming of the windows.

Painting

Rachel and the Shumates went to town with the painting.

Drywall

Finally, someone else is going to do the work. $4400 to do the house.





Rachel can't wait to pick the colors.

Plumbing

I didn't plan on doing the plumbing untill the plumbers wanted $7500 and 4 weeks to do it. Like so many other things it was quicker to do it myself and save a bundle.


Kitchen needed the rusting 1 1/2" line replaced to the sewer...a little digging required.

Failed my first inspection because I had the vent Y the wrong way...darn inspectors.

Insulation & Ply

We used cotton insulation and styrofoam insulation where there was no sheathing.



Because there was no sheathing on the outside of the studs under the siding, I put ply sheathing on the inside to keep the house standing up in an earthquake. It is a little bit inside-out, but makes hanging pictures much easier.
