The 'sitting area' upstairs would have been empty space in a two-story high entry. We like this use better, a good spot for home office, or ... sitting area.
The upstairs bath takes shape.
Downstairs, we met Dave, installing Hardibacker for the tile shower.
The medicine chest is in, vanity installed, granite counter and undermount sink ready for the plumbers.
The two finish carpenters have two of these saws, one in the living room and one upstairs. They have good stuff for good work. There is also a table saw in the garage.
Very long pieces of trim were fed through the 2nd floor window. Window trim and baseboard finished in this, the larger upstairs bedroom.
Handiwork on the banister. They even did this on the basement stairs, also an oak banister. Nice stuff, nice work.
I have to document this although I should have photographed them all. The contractors all have boom boxes capable of very loud, not too distorted, tunes. Almost all workers would quickly turn down the volume when 'the homeowners' showed up in spite of our protests that it wasn't necessary.
This one belongs to the finish carpenters. Framers, dry wall guys, wood floor installers, tapers, tilers, everybody has tunes. Some are elaborate with multiple charging slots for their cordless power tools. Many were tuned to country music, some to WNCS - adult contemporary, no public radio, though, (yet). No Rush Limbaugh. That's good.
We went to Costco today, and on the way in the store I saw a contractor targeted boom box. I was tempted, but didn't.
