#461...laundry bath

During our renovation earlier this year, our laundry bath got a makeover. It was not originally on the agenda, but a plumbing problem required much of the sheet rock and the tile to be ripped out of the room. Here is the room last year, and below you can see it today. I changed some of the lighting, had the shower tiled (finally), and got a new dryer. I accidentally bought this Ventless dryer, not realizing that it would no longer vent outdoors. I do turn the bathroom exhaust fan on while it is running, but I actually like the way it drys by condensation rather than direct heat. 

#458...fun with a drone

We recently completed our attic build-out and exterior renovation of our house. My contractor, Emiliano Zazueta hired a drone to make a video, which nicely highlights our pretty new roof and fresh paint job.

Here is the URL to see it on Emiliano's facebook page:

We are at the end of our construction project, and now it is time to move back in! Here are some photos of the nearly finished house, and new attic space.

We have made lots of progress in the last month. The carpenter busily spent 4 weeks cladding our attic in wood, and the tiler had great fun with the penny tile shower that I requested. (I did not think about how hard the tiny tile would be to line up and cut.) Next up is floor finishing, painting and then moving in!

Things are moving along with our attic renovation, and we are almost to my favorite part of picking out all the finishes. Over the holidays we got insulation, floor decking, and sheetrock.

The biggest change at our house this month is that we now have a back dormer, a new metal roof, and skylights. Here are some pictures of dormer progression.

On the inside of the attic we got rough electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and skylights.
