The New Study is Almost Finished




    

   


     This room has been a well-planned out and well deserved one at that. Last night we finished up sanding the floor and I put the stain down. I had the fan blowing on it to take the last of the sticky off of it. I put a splash of color on the wall that has the rough barn sliding on it. Just have a few more things to get done and we will have a complete room.

    This has been a long process since I work on it when I can and my honey does what he can also. I love that the fruits of our labor has brought such a beautiful room in our home. This is only the beginning. the roof will soon be added and we will no longer have to have buckets  and coolers all over to catch the rain. Each little step is in the right direction to having a new house, especially since we are doing all the work ourselves. It will be a long awaited rejoicing when it is finally all complete.

Progress After Irma



No more purple room.
1 painted door.
Start of insulation.
Insulation up and on strip for tin to be nailed to




    



All strips ready for tin.
     This last few days have been very busy and productive for us here on the farm. I painted the room we have been working on with first coat of paint and painted the door too. No more purple! We have all the insulation in and things we need to finish up the wall we just built. We spent the majority of the day laying down all the pine flooring again and finished it up in the evening. Man, I am in pain today!
Floor is down and ready to be sanded.

     We ordered most of our roofing supplies and had it delivered. Unfortunately we ran out of money to get all of it so we will continue replacing floors till my next pay check. 
Roof lumber!
Electrical outlets in.

     Today we are running electrical and putting up the tin on the wall tomorrow.
I have to paint the wall one more time, but can’t decide what color to go with. Cream seems to be the choice. We still have to remove the sliding glass door on the back wall as it passes the wall end on the side, then we can frame in a door and finish up that wall. I will be sanding down the floors soon after that so all the furniture can come back in. Then on to the next project the hall floor.

     Things are moving slow but they are coming together little by little.
