Adding some color to our lives

So much has happened since our last update! We got all the flooring in for the kitchen/living room area. We got the upstairs and the crawl space insulated with spray foam insulation. We installed a 3"foam "floor" in the crawl space to keep it warm and cozy. We also got a composting toilet from a great friend for the best price in the world (FREE). It still needs to be installed but there are a few other things that need to happen prior to that. Take a look at some progress pictures here and I will tell you about what we need to do below.
The tile, vinyl and wood floors meet and a beautifully scribed log post supports the beam above. The beam will later be sealed to protect and give some shine to it.

The breakfast nook has been completed and provides a great place to sit and ponder the next steps over a cold beverage.
This is the 6'x12' closet before it was painted.

Here is the closet after painting and lights installed.

Bedroom before painting.

Bedroom after painting. This picture doesn't represent the color very well though. The wall color is a peachy tone and the ceiling is a yellowish tan.

What's next?
  • Texture the stairwell
  • Prime and and paint the stairwell/entry
  • Get carpeting installed in the bedroom and closet
  • Intall lights and outlets in the entry/stariwell
  • Install vinyl flooring in the entry way and landing
  • Install the composting toilet under the stairs
  • Build a wall to surround the toilet
  • Build a railing for the stairs
  • Finish the stairs (still looking for materials)
  • Other finish work
  • Install cabinets
  • Move appliances over from the house and install (still need to figure out the propane line)
There are certainly other projects in there but our list is getting shorter with less monetary demands.
