Week 15, Day 100 - Color!

So today we started to see some color appear in the upstairs rooms. Tim did most of the work on getting the cement board down, and I helped when I could between runs to the store for coffee and supplies. The tile is all moved into the house, and Tim got a start on the plywood.

Keith (framer) showed up today to do a bit of tweaking on the stair framing, and one of the electricians stopped by to just check how everything is going. Mike did a little re-working on the stairs to free up a bit more space for ductwork in the basement. Here's a few pics of the current state of the house:

Having it painted makes it look soo much more like something we can move into! :-)

Primer, tinted to match the final paint color. Nice!
