40X120 pole building adventure

Time to design the kitchen and pick out the cabinet style and color then the backsplash.

Time to get the ceiling joists up, not much fun doing these by yourself or sometimes with 1 helper.

Had to sheetrock the wall behind the kitchen cabinets since they showed up early, when does that ever happen! Well the cabinets are up, now back to finishing the joists on the other side of the house. I raised the kitchen island 12" since that will be for me to use. When you are 6'5" and designing and building your own house it is nice to make things fit and easy to use.

Our son was over from Ireland for a visit and was a great help in getting the joists finished on the other side of the house. Then we framed in the 6' by 8' pantry in the kitchen adding the blocks to support the barn doors that will be built and installed later.

The sheetrock was delivered and I hired a crew to come and hang it, I'm too old to be doing that **** They did the whole house in 1 day, crew of 6 they were hustling. I also hired a crew to come tape, mud, and texture that took 3 or 4 days.

Then it was time for me to get to work again and prime and paint the interior walls, 2 coats of each.




Final color is a light grey and we are going to do bright white trim.

One of our other sons is an electrician so he came down to help install the lighting and the attic stairs.
