Still not in the new house, but it is coming along. These pictures give an idea of how the finish around the windows and doors came out. The structural member are darker, and the paneling is lighter.
The bookcases and the cabinets are also stained in the darker shade. All of the wood is knotty alder except the trusses and the glue lam beams which are fir. All of the black iron is also structural.
Today we had an unusual snow storm. The house is really beautiful no matter what the season!
The front wrought iron is turning out to reinforce the idea that it is a government building. I am still convinced that the doors, some of the commercial applications like the vertical cedar siding are contributing to a sense of security. We are really lucky that we have had no vandalism or any other problems since we started the project.
Finally, can anyone really say that they wouldn't like to sit in this hot tub in this place!
Next up is the hardwood floors. My friend Terry Meacham is helping me do this one ourselves. We spent the entire day yesterday gluing up the stair treads and the bull nose. This will really make the project more fun as we can see the results of our work every day. (I hope that is a good thing.)
