7/26 - Drywall hanging complete

I have finished hanging all the drywall.  Kristin's parents have finished the the drywall upstairs and some down.  Kristin is going to tackle the rest.  I am now moving to the outside of the house to work on siding.

I also built permanent stairs to the basement.  It is so much nicer then using the ladder that has been there for a year.

Super steep basement stairs.

The start of the siding.  The exposed basement will be covered with the same material we used for the roof.  The wall will get a mixture of finish grade plywood and pine siding.

Now that the toungue and groove pine is done we are starting on drywall and plywood.  The east and west walls along with most interior walls will be drywall.  The loft wall, both sides, and the ceiling under the loft will have finish grade maple plywood.

4/21/11 - More Interior Walls

Its spring break week so Kristin and the kids have been in Florida visiting her parents. I have been able to get a bunch of pine put up. The entire ceiling, along with with the skylight jambs, is done. Additionally the North wall of the loft is done. All that remains of the pine work is the downstairs South wall and the mudroom, which will be all pine.

4/10/11 - Interior Walls

The jamb extensions are done except for 2 sky lights. Those will be added as the ceiling is finished.

We are now putting up tongue and groove pine boards (milled locally). These will be the finish material for the ceiling, the north and south walls, and the bump-outs. The east and west walls will get drywall. The pictures below show the work on the bump-out in Kristin and Grey's bed room. The kids room is next.

This will be the detail for all the windows. No trim!!
