Our Home Addition - Part 10

November 22, 2015

Almost done..or pretty much done....lets just call it 99%

This blog was supposed to go out last week but my schedule has been totally out of whack.  The race to the finish line on our home addition has been pretty hectic.  I have been scrambling around picking out finishes, designing last second details, picking out furniture, selecting hardware, all in hopes of being done by Thanksgiving.

And for all intents and purposes we will be done by Thanksgiving.  It is about 99% done right now.  In fact we've already enjoyed a few meals in the new dining room.

Since I am short on time and energy, I am going to make this one of my lazy blogs..heavy on pictures, light on words.

Exterior Update

The only thing left on the exterior is that the back fence needs to be completed, all of the fence needs to be painted, and the landscaping needs to be installed.

 Our little brick box.

 I'd say it is an improvement.

Interior Update

The only thing left on the interior is the staining of that opening surround on the left.  There are some random odds and ends but it is essentially complete.

Video Update

Here is a video we shot last weekend. The pictures above are more recent so you will notice that in the video we had not yet painted.

Thanks For Joining Us On This Journey

It has been a wild ride.  Thanks for riding along with us.  If you are getting sick of looking at our house, don't worry..it is almost over.  

I am looking forward to a new year in a new house.  It has been pretty hard to focus on the blog during this time so again...thank you.

Cheers,

Welcome to BUILDINGS ARE COOL!

Hello, my name is Steve Ramos.  This site is about what it's like to be a young architect in Charleston, South Carolina.  In 10 years, I will write about what it is like to be a middle-age architect.
