Hello all again, has been a wet winter here with lots of rain/snow finally had a dry week in feb to get on the roof and work on the cupalo siding. finished up both of them , it lets me sleep better knowing they are protected from the weather. on a similar note the sealant i put on the chimney rock has been a great success with no water coming in. the water in the past was soaking into the cement rock and seeping down inside the block making a mess.
we picked up the bamboo flooring last month to install in the loft and let it sit in the house for a couple of weeks to let it acclimate to the house before gluing it down. this flooring is shreaded bamboo that is glued and pressed back together into a tongue and grooved plank. it is also cooked a bit to bring out the color by carmelizing the sugar. it is very hard i hope it holds up to life on the farm. only the molding at the wall to flooring is left.
we are still wiring plugs and now light fixtures with alot to go. in the photos you can see some of the hanging lights we are fitting them with led bulbs. .
the cupboard and vanities are here from F&C cabinets we chose knotty alder with a nutmeg stain and as you can see still have some work to do.
