Things have been happening this week. The painters came in and primed and painted all the walls.
All painted. Now we have to decide what surface to put on the fireplace surround.
All the doors were hauled out to the RV garage and painted.
That is a lot of doors!!!!
And the door frames were painted inside the house.
I see some over spray onto the walls. They must touch up the wall paint later.
After painting, the floor tile started going in. Woohoo!
The guest bathroom on the left and on the right, my sewing space.The tile continues into the great room and kitchen. You have to start somewhere!A close-up shot!
Things are happening outside the house too. The stucco gray coat is going on! After the gray coat, we get a sprayed on elastomeric coating (the RV will get moved for that…don’t need it coated too!). Then there will be a final troweled on coating of stucco.
In the morning sun, you can tell where the gray coat of stucco is applied and where it isn’t. When the stucco is wet, it almost looks like the tar paper! It dries much lighter. The Jeep is parked where it is to keep construction thieves from stealing the cement mixed (behind the Jeep). Typically the stucco crew takes their mixer home with them every night, but with us on site they feel comfortable leaving it. Same goes for the painter’s trailer…it’s parked right next to the RV (hard to see in this shot).
We have been picking out paint colors and stone, one of my least favorite things to do in the world.
The red arrow points to the color of the house stucco. The stacked stone is what will go onto the architectural posts on the house front and the chimney.Now we are trying to decide what color to make the overhangs. Decisions, decisions!
The neighbors who let us park in their driveway had us over to sit on their rooftop deck at sunset last night. It had reached 80 degrees during the day, so the evening was fairly warm.
A deck with a view!

It’s looking good! I vote for the Gauntlet Grey, btw.
