Finished Ceiling and Drying Mud

I can't even begin to total all of the hours that went into the
sanding, staining, clear coating, installing of the pine tongue
and groove planks on the ceiling. But I do know that had we
bought the panels of finished ceiling at the hardware store it
would have cost us close to $20,000. We did for less than $500.
That's insane!

Taping and Bedding

A new skill added to my resume.
Holy Time Consuming Batman!



















Hurray for awesome helpers!

Utility Room Just about done!

Fire Brick Wall

Russ's first lesson in brick laying.


















Adding a little spice from the nearby mountain.


















Finishing up about 3 days later about 11 at night.















It's the most beautiful brick wall Russ has ever made. :)

Window Seat

I wish that I had taken a picture of this 24 foot long piece of wood strapped
to the truck!
About 10 hours of love went into sanding, staining, sealing, and installing this window seat.

The making of a shower and hanging of a ceiling

We don't do anything the easy way.
