Turning To The Interior

Well, the guys finished up the siding and got started on the roof. They got half of it finished. They finished one side from the gutter all the way up to the ridge cap. Then the rain came. So, since it has been raining off and on the past few days they moved their attention inside.

In the rear of the house there is quite a bit of termite and water damage to the wood floors. Wanting to save as much of the original home as possible we have decided to remove the wood floors in the master suite. We will use the wood from the master suite to repair the floors throughout the rest of the house. Then we’ll go ahead and use new wood in the master suite. The floor guys are pretty good at matching color so, other than the fact there won’t be any dings and dents, the new floors should match the old floors fairly closely. And the new wood will be in the master suite where most guests won’t have the opportunity to see.

Also, the fireplaces are almost all uncovered now. They have one more small one in the rear of the house. These are going to add a nice touch to the interior.

Tomorrow I’ll post the layout drawing. Until then here are a couple of photos.

Siding is finished. Got half of the roof done. Then the rain came.

The new sub floor in the master suite. Notice the fireplace. They still have to knock the stucco off of it.

Here’s a fireplace in the front of the house with the stucco removed.

And here are two old claw foot tubs we will resurface.
