Project 13c: The New Building-The Barn

Once the building was weatherproof, it was time for the sheetrockers to close in the interior walls of the Homer Barn.

Months later the Harrington crew took over finishing all the loose ends from all the earlier crews. Here's Luke adding sheetrock in the Master suite coat closet.

And here's Steve spray-painting the Great Room and studio.

And in the Master bedroom suite.

And here are the brothers--Chris and Brad--discussing next steps in the Master bathroom/hot tub area.
The master bath tile was laid out by me and secured by Chris. When his gang had to head back to Moosehead Lake for another job, I followed in his footsteps and finished the tiling of the master bath...floor, walls ceilings, shower, toilet room....pheww! I got pretty capable with a tilesaw. :-)
And the men began to install the timbers from the Homer Barn in the Great Room. Yeah!!

When the timbers were mostly in place, and the men had used the old cut nails to secure the barnboards to the floor, it was my turn to give it three good coats of polyurethane to bring out its amazing color.

This was the second barnboard floor in this house that I stained...but far from the last!
