Working not Blogging...

I've been pretty busy over the holidays and didn't take much time to log my daily activity. But, I can now say that I got a lot done over the past 2 weeks. Probably the biggest milestone was taking delivery of the flooring. I got 960sf of select grade 2 1/4" t&g red oak from Crosscuts. Very nice! I can hardly wait to get this nailed down, but I've still got a few things I need to take care of first.

I worked on the sunroom ceiling a lot. I got the beams filled, sanded and stained. Whew, that was a lot of work! They don’t look absolutely perfect: the stain is a little inconsistent in parts and you can see some scratches from the sander. But, overall, it looks pretty good. I’m happy enough.

This Saturday (New Years Day) I got the trim in place on the skylight and Sunday I trimmed the triangular windows. I will still need to go back and sand and stain this new trim. Tonight I hope to get the trim in the bathroom skylights done. After that I need to trim the window over the main stairs. Then, I can focus on the stairs and ultimately the floors. I’m going to push the flooring back another week so that I’ll have plenty of time to prep the stairs, etc.

pictures soon.
