Drywall Done Hung

Today is a good day. The sun came out this afternoon!

Also, the drywall is all done & hung. Well, except for the one last half wall that will go on the outside of the stairs up to the loft - but that isn't going to be installed until after the stairs are put in. Which will be when....???

This shot shows the half wall up in the loft & is also looking into the bathroom (door with 2 glass blocks on top) & the 'pantry' closet on the right. Back entrance is to the left of the bathroom door.


This shot shows the other half wall of the loft - with a cool & interesting hole cut.....too bad - you'll have to wait to see what goes there!!!

It also shows the ceiling above the kitchen & the hallway going back to the bathroom & entrance. Plus our awesome cedar posts going up to the peak.



This shot is at the top of the stairs in the loft looking to the west wall (the bathroom is underneath this side of the loft). Phil left 2 access holes for storage & we will get our cabinet maker to make pull-out drawers for our clothes. In the little tiny space to the left of the window we will also design some closets for hanging items. There will be one for each window & will hopefully not stick out too far into the room. We have just enough room for a future king size bed & end tables too.

This is looking to the east side of the loft. The kitchen is under this side & you can see that cool & interesting hole in the wall looking out over the dining room. This wall also has 2 access holes & will have pull-out drawers. There are pot lights already in the pine that will shine downwards so when we open the drawers, we have light.

This is the window wall. There is a cool design feature that is hidden by the scaffolding. Can't wait til that stuff is out of the house!! Will show us a bit more light & room & will make moving around easier. But, have to wait til the mudding is finished....

This shot is from the back wall of the loft - I should have kneeled down so that you'd get the view that we will have from the bed. Just enough to let us know what's going on down the harbour & not enough for the harbour to know about us..... ;)





The eagles around here have been acting pretty silly these last few days. Spring is in the air & they are swooping & swooshing around - jumping from tree to tree - making all sorts of noise & then they just sit there. Right outside the house. This picture is zooming right in, so it might not be all that clear, but it's almost dark now & they are still sitting there. There might be as many as a dozen 'couples' flying around town, so it gets pretty noisy. I hope that they will find a tree that we can see from the deck of the new house. I would rather miss sitting at the table & being able to see these birds....
