February Snow Days on Bluff and at the Park

First big snow since we bought the lot.

View off of the unfinished deck.  You can see the homes way across Moon Valley.

First time to shovel the driveway......trying to open up some parking for the crews tomorrow.

Waling in Oakland Park......Peter had to try out the ice in the creek.

 Cool bridge leading to the disc golf range.

 Not many on the trail today.

 Another view of the bridge over Bear Creek.

The snow was hard walking but good exercise.   44 degrees so we were plenty warm.

Mid February - Cabinets, Flooring and Interior Doors

Hickory floors........beautiful.....   Peter is inserting the flange over the floor outlet.

Some of the character in the master bedroom floor.

Some of the character in the 2nd bedroom floor.


Shiloh frameless cabinets in melamine.   Made in Missouri

The built in area to the left of the refrigerator will be for the microwave.

Looking from where the bar top will be attached into the kitchen area.

Close up showing the texture of the cabinet surface.

The beginning of the exterior paint starring Keith Davis.

The house color is on the lower siding......Galveston Gray.

The darker gray will be the exterior color.

Tile in the master bath and master closet.

Tile 12" x 24" set a 1/3 offset pattern.

Bedroom french door that will be replaced due to the 2 3/4" stile on the hinge side and 4" handset side.

8' pantry doors also to be replaced due to 3 1/4" stiles that do not match the master doors.   These doors should architecturally mirror each other and engineered to be able to support a HUGE piece of glass.

Mid - February - Problems with big Pella slider window unit.

Sag on each section of the top jam extension and sheetrock on the transom above slider.

February 2013 - Glass Garage Door & Metal Element


Before the metal element sign went up.
Inside the garage looking out through the new glass garage door.

Once the porch light is installed.....it will shine through the numbers at night.

Looking from inside the front door out towards the driveway.

See the shadow from the setting sun......
