Busy, busy, busy!

 

Look how far it's come! We have been working like maniacs, and its paying off. The insulation went in a few weeks ago and its been full steam ahead since then.

We chose closed cell spray insulation for its high R value, even though it's heavier. With the Andersen windows and the insulation, the house will be sure to stay nice and toasty in the winter, and cool in the summer months.

Next, the floor went in. We used salvaged oak my dad found extra from a job site. Its beautiful wood, and was a great find.

 And check out that built in couch! I'm particularly proud of that one. There will be drawers underneath for extra storage, and there's actually quite a bit of room in there! There will be bookcases along both ends. It' going to be a useful piece of furniture!

Then came the ceiling. David worked really hard on gathering pallets (with Jeremy's help, of course), breaking them up, and placing them on the ceiling. The result is a really beautiful patchwork of wood tones and textures.

 This has gotten whitewashed since, and looks like a sky of many blues.

We put spruce tongue and groove on the interior walls too.

 

 

For the bathroom wall we salvaged the cedar from an outdoor shower that was being ripped off a house that's getting moved soon. It looks awesome, and is semi water resistant. I think it's my favorite wall. Great thanks to my mom and dad for that project!

 

 

Before the bathroom wall could be closed off we had to get the tub in the bathroom. Its too big to fit through the bathroom door!

 

 

 

And we got a door!

 

Ani painted it a green to match the roof. We have keys to our home!

Its coming along, and more was done this weekend. April flew by. Between work, moving, and making progress on the house, we have not been sleeping much! But it will make sleeping up in that sleeping loft when it's all finished all that much sweeter.
