Calking

Most of the joints where logs cross leak air so after letting the logs settle for a year, we finally calked these joints.  It will make the house much less drafty during the winter months.

Landscaping

Landscapers setting trees (bushes will be planted in the spring)

Finished (phase 1) we went for a low water design because Colorado is a dry climate.

Nancy and finish work.

The fireplace stones are dry stacked (no grout).  Nancy is touching up the gaps with dark brown paint..

Nancy has been helping with some of the finish work.

Hardwood Flooring

Flooring started

Sam and crew installing the floor.  Careful fitting around log columns.

We found some great Eucalyptus flooring at Lumber Liquidators.  It's a floating floor which is compatible with the in-floor heating system.  Some woods will discolor, others will warp with the warm floor.  It looks great!

Restore

Lovely sconce (2) used in the guest bedroom.

Habitat for Humanity opened a Restore in Woodland Park.  We found some lovely sconces and a great stained glass chandelier for the house.

Floor Tiles

Slate in the utility wing

We're laying floor tiles.  Large travertine tiles in the bathrooms and natural slate in the kitchen, foyer and utility wing.
