Wallboard finished and Painting started

As the title states, the wallboard is all up and the outside is painted.  Some amount of priming has been done on the inside

And now for the outside paint

There is still plastic over the windows so that they can give the building a second coat of paint

The drywall is going on

We took some time to go visit my family over July 4th - what a great looking crew




To keep you all up to date, the arches between the dining room and living room / kitchen have been modified.

 Then the drywall is starting to be installed - this is the living room looking at the fire place - then the ceiling


Now for the study - the door into the living room, the fire place and looking west

End of June = just prior to wall board and insulation

It has been a while, so I thought that I would add more pictures.  A lot of detail work has been completed.
Fireplace, TV, TV build in area, trim, etc.
