Flooring...sort of

Was starting to work on the rest of the electrical in the basement this morning, and needed to remove the bamboo flooring I had pulled up in the kitchen to get it out of the way.  Realized that I should go ahead and lay it down as temporary flooring since it will be a while before I get real flooring in the basement.  Had more than I thought, and was able to fill the office, and the hallway.


 


It's only tapped into place, and a sloppy job at that.  Only wanted to get something down and get it out of the way.  Also went ahead and put one of the Ikea bookshelves back together as I'm rapidly running out of room upstairs.  Finished wiring all of the outlets in the office too, and added one recessed light.  Next I need to wire in the track lights int he office that are behind the duct work.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Siding Started

Man, this stuff takes a loooong time to stain, but the results look very nice.  Here I've started the first round of siding. I will probably do this over the coming 2 weeks, staining some on one night, and installing is 1-2 days later.  It seems to take about 24 hours for the stain to fully dry.  Looks great though. Here is a better shot where I've stacked a few of the excess pieces on top so you can see more of what the wood will look like.
