2/19/2011

Houston, we have a dedication date. March 26th, 2011 we will be releasing 1118 N Fulton Ave. to Tonya and her family. As such the rush is on to get the house ready to go. Since our last post, the drywall has been added to provide that finished look. Two weeks ago, we shared the house with the drywall experts and saw how fast taping can be when you have all the right tools including stilts that attach to your shoes to reach the ceiling with ease, special spackle pumps to provide easy clean sapckle application and tapers to apply the dry wall tape. It was neat to see them work while we begin adding window sills, baseboard, and doors.

This week we continued that effort with a large group. Much of the baseboard got laid, as well as most of the doors, and even two closet doors which required laying door track and some minor framing. All in all it was a very productive day, we just need to continue to have this productivity to finish the house on time. So if you are available we would love to see you at the house.

Here Mike and I work on creating window sills out of very nice pine.


Here the closet crew work on framing out the closets for door installation.


Here Kurt, Andrew, and Steve continue working diligently on the house.


Here Randy works on utilizing the space under the first floor stairs as a storage area.
