TheBarefootNestProject: The White Oak
http://thebarefootnest.blogspot.com/2012/06/the-white-oak.html
Designing and Building Our House. From scratch. By ourselves. All of it. (well, almost all of it.). I would have never thought I would have had a post with that title. I was almost cateogorically against oak, thinking it was too our parents generation and contemporary. But hear me out. As you know, we have had a long evolution with the style. Of this house and correspondingly the floors. Until not too long ago (I suck, I already gave away the surprise) , after a lengthy affair with maple. We love the col...

TheBarefootNestProject: The Tin
http://thebarefootnest.blogspot.com/2012/05/tin.html
Designing and Building Our House. From scratch. By ourselves. All of it. (well, almost all of it.). In another post about work we totally didn't do ourselves.our roof is finished! And it looks awesome. I think in the past I've alluded to. But not explicitly talked about our roof. But I have to now because I am seriously digging it and loving myself (and my hot husband of course) for making such a wise and savvy design choice. We knew really early on that the roof would be metal. So we went with that.

Designing and Building Our House. From scratch. By ourselves. All of it. (well, almost all of it.). Our drywall is in! And our house looks SOOOOO different. I'm going to try and walk you though it and I haven't decided yet if this post is going to be really cool, or really long and just confusing but here we go. I debated removing the framing pictures in the name of simplicity, but the progress image was just too cool to leave out). Here's the big map of the main floor to get you situated:. Now looking i...

Designing and Building Our House. From scratch. By ourselves. All of it. (well, almost all of it.). It's been a long time. Every weekend we've been working. Odds and ends are getting finished all over the place. I think I'm just kind of lazy when it comes to taking my camera to the other house and taking pictures. But here's what we've been up to. In anticipation of paint (which will be really. We ever get there.) we put up all the window casings:. We used finger jointed pine, not MDF. So we built up eve...

TheBarefootNestProject: The Test
http://thebarefootnest.blogspot.com/2012/07/test.html
Designing and Building Our House. From scratch. By ourselves. All of it. (well, almost all of it.). We passed our pre-board inspection! I never would have thought the city would let us pass on the first go. Usually there is at least one arbitrary, bureaucratic, redtape, bullsh*t hoop to jump through first. It must be because they were awed by the spectacular framing). Drywall and siding in the next couple weeks. Hold on to your hats! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

TheBarefootNestProject: The Woodworking
http://thebarefootnest.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-woodworking.html
Designing and Building Our House. From scratch. By ourselves. All of it. (well, almost all of it.). You would have thought that I'd had more than enough of wood working building the stairs. And yes, I have had enough for a lifetime. But we still needed a bookcase for the study. And the big sliding barn doors for all our closets. And honestly, the only reason that we are tackling more projects at this point is because:. A part of the original plan and budget was for us to build these on our own and,.

Designing and Building Our House. From scratch. By ourselves. All of it. (well, almost all of it.). The Cabin in the Woods. We've been looking at for like 10 months. Our siding is on! And our house is starting to look like our home. Doesn't hurt things either). I know the landscaping still looks like a construction site (the blue fence and piles of lumber totally give it away), the trees need some serious TLC, and the decks have to be finished, but.the siding is on! And now that it's on, I'm really.

Tattered Jeans & Saw Dust: July 2013
http://tatteredjeansandsawdust.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tattered Jeans and Saw Dust. Monday, 29 July 2013. A Huge Can of Worms, I Mean Ants. This past week I framed a small landing and stair case in a carport, as well as repair some water damaged board and baton siding, well I thought it was some water damage. Further inspection revealed ants, a lot of ants, like seriously a lot of ants. Beneath the siding I discovered several ant nests and a two by ten that had been eaten down to the size of a two by four. Saturday, 27 July 2013. OK so these tips may not be ...
