Shower, Mini-split, Mattress & Sheetrock

 With the insulation done I could install the shower stall and fixtures.

 

That done I started sheetrock.  I started in the bathroom with moisture resistant sheetrock and when that was done I installed the bathroom heater and the in-wall medicine cabinet.

I started sheetrock in the living room area starting with the under loft ceiling and then walls.

I poured a small slab outside and mounted the outdoor portion of the mini-split system on it.

Also, my new mattress arrived and I got it put up in my loft.

Painting Beadboard, V-Groove & Varnish

 I put two coats of "Marshmallow" interior paint on the bead board.  It really lightens up the interior of the house.

Then I installed the V-groove pine planks at the peak and on the east gable end and applied two coats of varnish.

 

Now that the power is connected to the house I fired up my circuits.  All are working fine except one circuit. My plan is to troubleshoot that issue tomorrow.

Electrical Hookup & Beadboard

Today a small crew arrived and ran the underground cable to hook up the electric to the house. They say that within a couple of days some techs from the power company will arrive and move the meter from the temporary pole to the house. 

 During the past few days I've been installing beadboard plywood on the ceiling and in the loft.

Beadboard Plywood

 

It was a difficult task to do alone as the inside of the ceiling is sloped and gravity was working against me.  It took me several sheets before I figured out a reasonable way to accomplish it.

The space above the beadboard in the main part of the house and the east end gable wall will be covered with natural finish V-groove pine.

Tomorrow I'll get started painting the beadboard.

 

 

 

Insulation

 Today I completed the insulation...crawl space, roof & walls all insulated and I'm glad it's done.  Next step is to start covering the walls.
