Changes Inside and Out

I know it has been a long time since my last post and I apologize. On one trip up to the house, I forgot to take the camera at all, which was a shame because they had the drywall up and finished the taping. On the next trip I had the camera but when I went to use it - the batteries were dead and my spare batteries were gone, which was a shame because they were putting up the stucco.

On the last trip, I made sure the camera was ready to go, and the pictures follow.

The outside of the house has be given the preliminary coats of stucco (which may not be the correct term, but I do not know what else to call it). I do not know how many more coats it needs but my understanding is that the last coat will have the color in it, which should be a cream sort of color.





The inside walls have been "textured" which is a layer of something that gets sprayed on before painting to give the walls some texture. Our style of texture is called "orange peel." The pictures probably won't show that much detail. When the house is turned over to us all the walls will be white. Our plan is to paint the individual rooms the colors we want before we move in.

These pictures may look like the walls are painted already, but that is just the color of the drywall and the texture coat.

This is the front entry and the folding chair is sitting in the dining room.


Here we are looking at the "great room" from the far corner in the kitchen area.


And this is from that opposite corner looking into the kitchen.


Master bedroom.


This is the "mini-master" which will be our office.
