Finishing Touches

The past couple of weeks have been chaotic over here as we prepared for the final inspections. Dad came up again to help complete the short list required for occupancy. While searching through the pile of leftover framing lumber for a 2 x 4, we found, and then exploited this little guy--a baby posssum.

Dad helped glue and clamp the douglas fir front door that I made.

This is the finished product--hung, with 2 of 3 coats of poly applied.

This is the fir back door we bought to match the front.

This is a photo of the kitchen cabinets with most of the drawer and door hardware attached. We cut the cobra soapstone to fit around the old sink, then sanded it and applied mineral oil to the top which turned it a rich dark black color.

Me setting a few nail heads deeper before the wood floor people showed up.

Short handrail sections were added to meet code requirements.

A close up of the handrail and newel post cap I made (doug fir as well)

The rooster came today.

Oh yeah, and we passed our final building inspection yesterday!
