Work on the Garage Continues

Work is continuing on the garage. The plywood is all on the outside of the garage and is covered with Tyvek. You can see Tony adding siding, that my wife and I pre-painted, on the side of the house. It was a bit brisk that day, about 9 degrees when I took this photo.


The other side of the garage, with a good view of what will be our screened porch. Hopefully, the siding on the house will be done before we get more snow. Luckily, the forcasted big storm we were supposed to get Sunday night and Monday has moved South and just missed us.


These are the stairs to the storage area above the garage.


This is the storage area. This is basically our attic since there is no easy access above the second floor ceiling...and no floor. I think this will give us plenty of storage; it is about 24' x 33'. Plus, my wife doesn't allow me to have any "crap".

Greatroom Floor Refinished

Things were at a standstill last week but things are starting to happen this week. We would have liked to have the floors refinished before we moved in but that could not happen so we are doing it now.

This is the floor before sanding, we had to pile all the furniture on one side of the Greatroom and put up a plastic curtain across the room to try to keep the dust off the furniture.


The floor all sanded.


The floor after the last coat of finish. It is still wet so it has more of a shine than when it dries.
