Concrete Countertop

Brice frames up the countertop shape and pours 1-1/2” of concrete into the forms. He will grind down the rough surface to smooth then polish. Here is the surface in its rough form.

Waiting for an apparatus to arrive that captures dust while grinding and sanding the countertops. Got some of the tile work done in the front entry. Had to stop to order more black pebble tiles. Started tile work in the bathroom. Painted the mantle to grey.Read more

Wet Sanding Countertops
April 5, 2025 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 28 °F
Brice sands the countertop to smooth using a heavy disc and water. A Spring snow on April 4th makes everything white for a day. Brice reused an antique outdoor sconce that was on the house to put into the bedroom above where the headboard will be. Tiling in the bathroom makes big progress.Read more

Tile, tile and more tile
April 6, 2025 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 50 °F
So many days of tiling. I got to put up some white subway tile, which gradually went out of level and had to be torn out, Brice took over that job and I took over the pebble trim around the outside of the front door entry. Brice finished the green tile in the bathroom yesterday and started with the kitchen back splash. A bit more tiling in the kitchen then we’ll grout everything. I can’t wait to move onto clean up and appliance install. The light of at the end of the remodeling tunnel is in sight.Read more

Lots of Progress and Move In Day
April 22, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 39 °F
Brice has been working so hard to get all the finishing touches complete. I moved in 3 days ago since my bed was set up and each day it feels more and more settled and like a home.

This week has been the finishing of the install of the mini-split. That was a big job involving inside and outside components with a cord and hose passing all the way through the house. It's up and running and just needs a few cosmetic touches and paint to hide the hoses. It will provide heating and cooling.

Brice has been having the Midas touch in appliance installation. Everything has worked on the first test run, which has me wholly impressed. We have left touch up paint, kitchen decorative shelves on each side of the microwave.

I unboxed the couches yesterday. It feels like watching a Chia Pet growing. They went from rolled up in a box with compression to expanding over many hours into an actual couch. It is supposed to take a few days to fully expand and it's still growing.....

I'll move onto painting the garage and setting up my "spa/gym" out there for the next few months. Right now it is a mess because it’s been the catch all spot for construction.Read more

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.
