I’ll be working on making the garage interior a working space, but the house is complete and I am loving it! So proud of Brice’s construction skills. I couldn’t be happier with my little house.

Wood Ceiling Accents

The fir wood treatment doesn't cover 100% of the ceiling and serves as an accent to the drywall..

The long and tedious process of taping the drywall seams and preparing for floating the mud surface and texture onto the drywall.

The picture makes the tub look like it takes the entire bathroom, but really it is only slightly larger than standard tubs. I love a soaking tub, it is one of my few "must haves". I've ordered a bathroom vanity and sink, found a faucet set at an Amazon bin store. Getting so excited now that we're down to the nitty gritty of making this a home.

Subflooring and Spray on Insulation
