One Way,

1275 sq ft main floor is enough space for two of us. Just a master bedroom, bath, powder room half bath, combo living rm-kitchen, and dining room with a mini office space upstairs. People ask what the big room off the master bedroom is, walk-in closet, of course, with space for a stackable washer & dryer. But there's a full daylight basement downstairs with two storage closets, two storage rooms, and two extra bedrooms, a bathroom, a big ass recreation room & kitchenette should the need arise. Oh, and 12 x 36 storage attic in the garage. I don't need a lot of living space, just a place to store my toys and stuff. Part of the reward is I'm doing my thing, and my schedule is to finish it when it's finished, which is exactly the level of detail that suits me for this project. Thanks for the kind words, I'm trying to make it a quality job cuz I'm gonna' have to live with it, however it turns out.

Big milestone Friday - moved the boat out of the storage yard and into the garage and emptied the portable rented storage shed and put everything into the garage. I'll be $125 richer next month for rental fees I won't be paying. Brought home the milled cedar from the tree we had to drop back at the beginning of the job last summer. It's been air drying at a friend's place since July. I'll be running it through the planer soon and edging it prior to oiling and then install as ceiling paneling in the big room - kitchen / living room area. Rolled on 7 gallons of interior paint today. I'd feel bad but I hear the fishing continues to suck on the Cowlitz.
