A Post about Posts and Bones

 Jacob and Charlie finally got the porch supports in!

The porch supports were quite the project, Marie had the idea to attach a table leg and a post from a railing to make the porch support. Jinsoo sanded down the table legs, Ben and Jacob drilled holes through the centers of each and then connected them with a piece of reinforcing steel. Jacob and Charlie got the porch supports in place and all screwed in. Then Marie primed and painted them.

 

 Jacob and Charlie have the shower all framed and the shower side bathroom wall up. They have also been working hard on a design for our kitchen counter and that has now been framed and put in.

The custom couch base has been framed. it will work as storage and it will also be the first step of my staircase/bookshelf/storage unit.

The Good, the Ugly, and the Necessary

 On the back of the house we have the hot water heater, and filter.

 Charlie spent a long time making sure that the connections are water tight.

 This is the PEX piping for the shower, now that this is complete we can put the wall up and tile it!

 This is our breaker box and underneath is the hook-up for a washer/dryer unit if we decide we want that.

 The bathroom fan has been installed and wired.

 This is the water hookup for the sink.

 Jacob and Marie worked on getting my bookshelf properly fit into it's permanent space.

 Annie and Marie painted the walls and trim for the bed loft, Jacob got the  flooring put in and the whole for the stairs cut out.

Jacob got the flooring for the storage loft put in.
