Trim that.....

Trim that.....

April 17th -- The head finish carpenter and one crew member spent ten hours today working on the remaining trim and the second bathroom on the upper level.  The paint color is "windsor greige" (since when is beige and grey called greige?) and goes well with the oak vanity and cabinets that used to be in this bathroom when it was the master bathroom.

Even though this former master bathroom is small, there is still a lot of mill work and trim, along with a door to hang in the new entry (the old entry used to be through the former master bedroom).  The tile that looks like wood fooled even the carpenters who thought it was old barn siding.

Here is the closet "pass through" to get to this bathroom (behind the closed door in this photo):

This closet will have a clothes bar (shown here with wood clamps as the glue dries) and a wall shelving system).

The counter top for the vanity needs to be fabricated, the plumbing fixtures re-installed, the electrical fixtures installed and painting touch ups before we can call this last bathroom a wrap.

The finish carpenters installed the mirrors in the custom-made medicine cabinets in the master bathroom, and completed several other tasks, including:

• installing a fold-away-hanger in the laundry room;

• setting an odd-sized heating vent in the kitchen;

• trimming the guest closet with baseboard and a clothes bar;

• finishing the attic access with a lovely "picture frame"

• attaching a kick plate on the rear-entry door.

They also installed hardware, such as door stops, switched out some passage and privacy doorknob sets.  At the end of the day they were off after making good progress, but several items still remain and they will return one day next week to install the rest of the door knobs and a shelving system in the greenhouse, in addition to bathroom fixtures (towel bars, etc).

After they left, I went up to the master bedroom suite and enjoyed the view of a beautiful sunset looking west.
