sheetrock done and brick almost done,

making progress- sheetrock got done already this week, brick is almost done, we ran out of brick and had to order more. South Texas Brick and Stone was on the spot and had more brick delivered so hopefully the brickers come tomorrow to finish the second half of the last column in the back and the front brick fence. bought enough extra brick to do the hearth and the fireplace surround in the family room. The antique Old Chicago brick is absolutely amazing looking and i really like it.



sheetrocking is done, they just have to move the extra sheets up to the unfinished space and then i can finally clean up after them, sheetrock in general is messy.  texturing is next which is awesome, because after that, we get to put down our reclaimed wood floors! so excited about those, downstairs is plank flooring 4-5-6-7-8" flooring mixed up and upstairs is the flooring that came out of the original 1940s house, 2 1/4" wide oak flooring.

i am finalizing bids on the flooring install and hopefully we will be ready to start that on tuesday or wednesday...
