May 7, 2008—Stucco scratch coat complete
Here is the little porch in back of the foyer with the chimney and living room door. As you can see, the little beam and the brackets are all covered with plastic to keep them clean during the plastering.
Sorry about the tilt. It is very hard to get this side of the building straight in the camera because you have to stand at an odd angle to get it into the frame. Once the veranda is added on here, I imagine it will get worse.
Looking down the hall from the back door, all is taped and ready for mud.
The wall on the toilet room got finished and is finally starting to look like a toilet stall.
Once again, our green shower is kind of appealing in the morning sun. We are still trying to pick tile for it because the tile we wanted was soooo expensive. Since we added granite counters in the kitchen, we just cannot afford to use that pricey tile in here.
The kitchen/family room looks very cool with the stripes, kind of like a stage set for an extremely avante garde opera.
Here we are looking toward the family room section. I now realize that even with a stereo cabinet on that wall, there is a lot of room to hang art above it.
The drywall crew opened a few windows to help cure the mud. It is a little hard to tell in this photo, but the casement on the right is open—possibly for the first time.
The dining room arch just looks cooler and cooler with each coat of mud.
Here is a detail of the corners.
