Lots of progress

 Since the last post I've gotten a lot done.

Finished the spackling and painting and painted the inside of the front door.

I picked up a couple of pieces of furniture that my uncle gave me back in '74 that my daughter had custody of.  One, a desk, had been refinished some time ago and I'm going to leave it as is but I did purchase a neat old office chair to go with it.

The other piece is an old sideboard that I'm going to use as an island on wheels.  I mounted it on casters and painted it.  When I get to doing countertops I'll install one on the sideboard.

I hung the kitchen & island lights and installed cabinet/drawer pulls.  All of these items I salvaged from my daughter's house when we renovated her kitchen.

I built a box to cover the pipes & wires to my hot water heater and a rack to hold my two induction burners when they're not in use.

I installed trim around the wall to ceiling junction, framed the octagonal window in the east wall and finished the trim there, installed my mini-split heat & AC unit and trim on the face of the loft.

Framed both living room windows and built shelves above them.

Framed the kitchen window and put up shelving

Hung up my key holder and framed the loft window

Purchased an above sink draining rack

Installed my flooring

Trimmed around the dresser/storage unit

Framed, built and hung the bathroom door

 

 

 

 

 

Misc Stuff

 I've gotten lots of stuff accomplished since the last post.  I've managed to get the house to a point where I can move in, though it's not finished yet.

Bathroom has been primed and painted, the combo washer/dryer installed and the toilet and flooring installed.

I installed shelves over the washer/dryer, built a tilt-out hamper, framed the window and put up a shelf with storage boxes above the window.

I built a loft ladder and painted one kitchen wall red.

Spackled and painted the last section, under the loft and the closet and put up a shelf and clothes rod in the closet.

I purchased kitchen cabinets and built one cabinet to hold my countertop dishwasher and painted them all.  Installed the sink and faucet.

And I built out my built-in dresser/storage cabinet.  There are 8 cubes. Each one holds two storage boxes, one in front and one in back.  Below that are three drawers.
