Just discovered this today when I went to install the hardware: all of our exterior doors have been drilled incorrectly.
It is recommended to start at the earliest post and proceed chronologically.

Sinking into a Hole (reverse that)
We wanted the one that comes with a hole in it for the faucet.
Well, not so simple.

Project Update
Big trim boards in this opening, with reveal. Took a bit of fussing, and adding drywall edging to make the shadowline reveal. Messy business, but I'm getting better at it. Still needs painting. |
Mostly working alone at the house this week, but this coming week promises big things.
This past week involved:
- Lots of base trim: about 1/2 done, including up the stairway. Some base trim is on hold until carpet installation in bedrooms.
- Lots of door trim: about 2/3 done.
- Drywall reveal trim installation around two openings.
- Misc. painting
- Mirrors measured and ordered.
- Glass shower door measured and ordered.
- Countertops ordered (they measure and template later)
- Flooring underlayment cut and put down in Laundry Closet, for future sheet linoleum.
- Plumber dropped off the sinks.
- Cabinet guy put down toe-kicks in the kitchen.
- Taxes prepared & filed
The coming week promises:
- Installation of the long-awaited Kitchen Cabinets (Yay!)
- Installation of most plumbing fixtures that don't involve countertops: toilets, shower trim, tub trim, hose bibs, utility sink (Yay!)
Stay tuned - a lot of changes in the next few days.
Base trim in the Hallway |
Base Trim up the stairs. The finished wood stair treads and risers will butt into this. |
Wood sink wall, now with steel shelf on top. Sink has arrived, awaiting installation. |
Door trim examples - a swing door (left) and pocket door (right). Pocket door still needs a bit of touch up sanding and paint. |
Kitchen cabinet bases are down. Cabinets pending! |

Slatted
The wood slats that form the Dining Room wall/stair guardrail are in.
We've been looking forward to this day; it adds much warmth and detail to the room. See more pics below.

Painting Trim
I am pre-painting all the base trim and casings prior to installation.
They'll still get touched up once installed, but that is much easier than crawling around painting all the coats of paint on the trim once in place.

Interior Doors
I started hanging interior doors and frames today, after pre-painting them at the end of last week.
Very satisfying to put the handles on.
More of the same tomorrow, then the casing trim gets pre-painted and installed.

Breakfast Nook Progress
Installed the fir flooring in the Nook today. Took hours of hand sanding with my little vibrating sander.
Now to add the window sill extension, and the edge trim, then put a finish on it all.
After that, the cantilevered table and benches.

Hail Yeah
Had a short intense hail shower today. The pea sized hail collected in the leaf catcher to the point of spilling out on the ground.
