J & J Log Home

 Chugging along. We have the kitchen cabinets ordered and should be ready in a couple weeks.  Picked a different bath vanity and sold the other one . Chinking in bedroom finished, and flooring done too through bedroom and closet. Also did all the flooring up the stairs, and wired some low voltage lighting in the stringers. And have trimmed out some doors and a little baseboard work done.

 We finished tiling the master bathroom, floor and entire shower.   The kitchen lighting(LEDs and island pendants) is installed along with the the mud room light.      And we started the flooring downstairs.  

 We worked hard leading up to the holidays to get the upstairs finished, so Mom and Dad had a place to stay when they came down for new years. Got the stair railing done, and hardwood installed upstairs. Pocket doors trimmed, Jessica did all the door casing and baseboards, cutting and installing and painting! After Christmas, we had a few very productive days.  Dad helped me finish more flooring, modified the converted dresser shelves to fit around the plumbing , and did a lot of log check sealing. Mom helped Jessica do a bunch of painting. We also finished tiling the powder room wall, installed some lights and the last ceiling fan and some misc electrical stuff, plugs almost all done. Started the prep work for tile in the master bathroom this weekend.

 The upstairs bathroom is done except for some trim and finishing the vanity drawers.  Friend was here to get the water main hooked up in the crawlspace, set a couple toilets, and the water heater. I finished the wiring after and we have hot water and flushing toilets!  Jessica painted all the pocket doors and they are slid into the walls:)

Started tiling the upstairs bathroom floor.   Jessica painted the bottom of the T&G ceiling, looks amazing. Waterproofed the shower wall. Upstairs chinking started. Flooring delivered. First 2 mini splits installed and working.

 The drywall guys got the mud and texture finished last week. It was dry by Friday. We picked up primer and sprayed 12 gallons on Saturday. Then today we did another 15 gallons of paint. We also got the outdoor mini split unit mounted, and wired.
