Renovations: Week 6

It is now the end of week 6. It's hard to believe how far we've come - the house is so different now. Demolition is over - it is all new construction and finishing now. The drywall is done although there are still a few rough spots and there's some small additional patching to do. The old doors have mostly been removed and a few new ones are in. The oak will look fantastic when it is finished. The electrical is mostly done and the plumbing is ready to receive our new fixtures.

This week we'll show a few videos of the progress. First, here is the outside of the house from the front. Nothing happened here this week (all work was indoors) but it was a nice, sunny afternoon when I took this video showing where we are now:

This view shows the rear. Nothing happened here this week either, but it's a good overall view:

Here is the master bedroom suite. A lot happened in here this week; the drywall is all finished, primed and some painting has happened. The room will be a light sage green with one darker green wall. The old door is removed, the master bathroom has received one coat of paint and the concrete tile base is in for the shower. Rocky ran the wiring for the heated floor but the element was too long; he took it back out to swap for the right length.

Finally, here is the kitchen and much of the downstairs work. We're almost ready for the new floor and the cabinets. A first coat of paint has been applied to most of these walls - you can see the color choices.

That's it for now. Next weeks photos and/or images should really showcase some bright new materials!
