Cabinets Installed in Kitchenette

Cabinets mounted in the basement kitchen area next to theater. Seem to
fit okay, just have some final trim work, installing the sink and
plumbing connections, and then a counter top to finish. Need to get some
handles for the drawers in the cabinets as well. Most likely will make
the counter top from tile as I have a bit of this from previous
projects that should work.

Truss View from Inside House

Here are a couple of pictures from inside the house once the trusses
were set. Hard to recognize anything but this is looking from the back
sliding glass door in towards the kitchen/stairwell.


A lot of wood!

Trusses Set on House

Got a break in the weather today and we were able to get a crane in to set
the trusses on the house. Job went smoothly, only took about 3 hours to
get them all in place. Temperature started about 9 degrees but had warmed to 35
by mid day.

We used the same local crane company, D & B, that we used when we did the
guest cabin.





Kitchenette Cabinets Nearly Completed

Cabinets for basement area are nearly done- ready to finish. Finish will
be a clear coat of poly so you're able to see the wood grain. Hope to
get them up on the wall in the next few days.

Roof Trusses on Site

The trusses for the roof arrived and were unloaded. Ready for a crane to
help set them next week.

Outside Walls are Up

On Friday, the outside walls were completed and most of the internal
walls were up as well. The last part of the day was spent getting the
top boards in place and marked for the roof trusses. Hope is to put up
the trusses on the next day with good weather- calling for snow on
Monday as this is written but will wait and see. A crane will be used to
set the trusses in place.


Front Wall Going Up

Front wall going in place on Thursday, things moving fast now!
