Here are the pictures of the nearly completed house. It was a lot of work. Kristi was a huge help, I couldn't have done it with out her. We installed the tile ourselves, with a little mosaic in the middle of each room. The floor is recycled using the best wood removed from the floor from around the house. We barely had enough to finish the job. We planed, sanded, and wood filled and sand
ed, and filled, and
poly coated, and sanded, and poly coated for 4 days straight. We recycled the old trim from around the old windows and used it for baseboards. The French door to the bedroom was from a local recycler
as well. We saved a bunch of money by buying pre-made un-finished cabinets in the kitchen. I custom made the cabinet next to the fridge to match, saving me about $500. Paint and caulk finished it off.
