Building Our Dream Home: September/October 2021

September & October house building was slow but looking back we got some big things taken care of. 

September 16th

September was uneventful.  We got our propane tank in.


And air conditioner up and running.


Bonus room split up and running.



September 17th

All door knobs ordered and arrived from Amazon.  I had to go through and use a router on each door to make all the pieces fit the door.  If you didn't know... your belly button is the perfect pace to hold your screwdriver if you are putting door knobs on all by yourself. 


October 2nd

October was more productive than September.  Finally, after being ready for cabinets since July 1st when drywall was completed, we got our first set of cabinets installed. 


They might not have all been correct but at least we had something. 
Kitchen....


There are supposed to be spice racks in between where the stove top is.


Pantry...


There is supposed to be a mini fridge in the pantry.  The way the cabinets are built he put a door on the far cabinet.  That door wont be able open once the mini fridge is put in. 




Front steps completed


Got one of the "eyebrows" stained
