Weekend Update
We got a lot done this weekend.
We finished laying all of the wood flooring in the pantry/laundry addition of the house. Even in the rough shape it is in, it looks great. Our next flooring project is the master bathroom. As an experiment, we brought Charlie's planer up to the Queen and ran all of the floor boards for the master bathroom through it. They look fabulous. All of the dirt, gouges, stains, and old finish came off revealing lots of golden-yellow pine. We cut all the boards to length, so all we have to do now is lay them. With the exception of working around a plumbing rough-in, it should be a fairly easy job. Since we've planed all of the wood, we should be able to skip sanding it before we refinish it.
While my wife, Charlie, and I were working on the floors, Jack was helping us with our electrical system. He has finish running all the electrical wiring through the house from the breaker box. Now he has to start attaching everything to switches, outlets, et cetera. He also buried the last ten feet of power line to where our permanent meter box will go (see 300 Freaking Pounds of Rock, below).
As a bonus, we also found our digital camera. We should have more photos posted soon.
