Day 72, The Friday before Labor Day

This the Friday before a three day holiday weekend. Our project is the only thing between Darrell and Stacy starting their time off till Tuesday.

Both are being targeted for honey do projects.









 BOTTOM, Darrell is putting the final touches on the pony wall molding installation.

The downstairs molding and baseboard is just about ready to paint walls and stained the half door. The other tasks are picking out the carpet for the stairs.

Also left is the hand rail.

Stacy hangs the beverage door. Just as he swing the door to test the swing he notices the doors are not on the same level.




He must shave some wood off the installed door.

Now have both doors swinging at the same height

Friday was also install our new poly shower three-sided stall. There are  panels to be install as well as a seat and soap and shampoo storage wall unit.

The installer must take these panels and weave them through the interior job site to the hall bathroom.














BOTTOM, you can see the glue dobbed on the sheet rock wall as the installer position the first piece with the window cut-out.

ABOVE, Darrell lends a hand to position the first wall.

now he is readying his hammer to tap the wall to insure a tight fit.








BOTTOM, the second wall is carried into the final location. You can see the hole for the soap and shampoo insert. The final window trimming is another task to be done later.

Here; Mario uses a template to precisely locate all openings for shower controls.

This is what our new shower looks like. We have decided to install two sliding doors with 3/8" or 1/2" glass doors.

Mikey is caught in his various electrical to-do list by Sandy just in time photography. He is under the kitchen floor to provide energy to the island and "L" counters.

Mikey is ready for the long weekend as well.





BOTTOM, Sandy just told Mikey she didn't want an electrical outlet where he cut a hole in the brand new cabinet... Just Kidding!

Another Mikey project was to correct a door swing problem with one of the Tiffany pendant lights. The builders and Mikey figured out that the light box needs to move 3" out of the way of the door swing.





RIGHT, is the new light shade looking like they are purple and lime. 





Mikey accommodate us by hooking up the energy so we can illuminate one of the light. When will used a 75 watt light we saw all the warm tones of the pendant shade.

Stacy and Darrell remove the final flooring. Now the way has been paved to install the new flooring.

 

RIGHT, shows the comparison between the original wood floor and the new flooring material to be installed. We will be sanding the old stained off and staining the new wood so they look the same.

Note the grooves on the planks and how they fit tightly with the other planks.
