Finally building our hone

[tigerscowboy]

Here is lunchtime today


Should be ready for concrete by Friday

And here are the plans

Looks like an ideal design to turn into a home. Have you considered reversing the powder room door swing to out? Adding a door to the master commode room may not be important to you, but would be to almost all of the market if/when you sell.

Congrats on the decision to burn it down.

The master toilet still may yet get a door, but even if not it can always be added.

And the powder room is getting a pocket door so no clearance issues

But thanks for looking out

We have a builder, but he's a friend of ours. You know the time table gets stressful but we just keep saying this is only a couple of months for a house that will be here or whole lifetime.

And I can't wait to see the floors once they are sealed. We do have one spot that looks like crap. I think it's because I had to use a bunch of cleaner to remove some red chalk lines in the concrete. The cleaner worked great everywhere else on the other chalk lines and pencil marks but that so was stubborn. Of coarse it's right when you enter the back door

Good luck

I thought I recognized that boat dock and view from your In-laws place.

Your inlaws live next door to Brandon Wax. I'm good friends with his brother in law.

Nice place!! Congrats

Yes Brandon and Brandi are between us. But hadn't seen him in awhile. Come say hi next time your up

Girls like bathroom doors.

OK, so progress is happening this week.

Not much last week, the painters came back and touched up everything outside. So now outside paint is done! Sheetrock was delivered too. Then nothing for several days...
Until yesterday
Stone guys came in and blew me away. By quitting time, they had all the wainscoting done except the top copeing. And started on the columns. If everything goes as planned today they will also start the fireplace.





Speaking of fireplace, it's in! No more hole in the roof. Well, hole is still there but now has a pipe and flashing. So no more leaks

Sheetrock guys are here and got all of the ceiling downstairs done and some of the walls. Not bad for just 2 guys.


And finally the spray foam is done. They were waiting on sheetrock for the interior walls that border the garage so they could spray in there. So the garage is completely sealed! Should be moving that big spray foam truck out today.

So rock and sheetrock guys said they will be around until Thursday. So I'm sure I'll have more pics this weekend

Like everything else, Sheetrock hasn't gone as planned, got the downstairs hung, and started on the upstairs. They ran out. Well delivery is in so hopefully they show up today




I got the dog's room paneled b4 they sheetrock up the area and I can't get anything in.


And the stone is beautiful, but it's really messy. This was the last of the rubble. It was around the entire house like this
that's what I did most of this weekend

Looking great Chris.

Well, Sheetrock WAS delivered, but apparently 1 of the 2 guys in the crew went in for hernia surgery. Ouch.

So we got a new crew out of Austin to cone hang the rest. That happened last Thursday. Sat the tape and float crew started. Looked like this when they left


They came back again yesterday. Said he should be done with texture and all by Thursday. So I'm guessing that really means sometime in the next week or so sheetrock should be done

In the weeks we've been idle I've been fighting with all the dirt ruining off. Didn't rain as much as in Houston but we still got a bunch. Just b4 the epic rains I got some grass down
It held up good, I was surprised


Borrowed a little tractor from my dad, (I need to get one now) to move some dirt around and to clear a section of yopons out so we can get the septic sprinklers in.
Still have more to clear but I'm over the halfway point


Built up the dirt on one side for access to the outhouse and eventual outdoor shower
then I've added some grass and smoothed everything out

Also built up the other side for a patio, hang out area that will lead to the smoker

Looking great sir. I really like that stone and wood color combination.

Congrats on a nice place.

They got done with sheetrock including texture last Saturday


We cleaned up the garage and moved in our cabinets from the old house. Going to maybe install the upper ones this coming weekend. Not to many people can say they have a sheetrock and textured garage. Ha ha


And on Tuesday they started bringing cabinets in!! Feels like we are getting close.


Sound be here today with the rest. Maybe starting on trim tomorrow





Feels like the longest build in history. We are getting antsy. Summer is coming, weather is nice, and the rv is small.
