Scrapping, Caulking, Framing, Installing, etc. (Lots of Doing Something!!)

This post covers our house building from July 20 through August 10.

July 20  - We replaced wall boards missing from our bedroom wall with the exception of a few because we need to finish the electrical word before closing in around the junction box. We also framed in our bedroom closet wall, did remaining demolition in our bathroom, installed electrical lines in our bedroom, bathroom, and closet, put putty over screw holes in the kitchen and dining room ceiling, applied Kiltz to remainder of the mud room wall and sanded.

July 26 - Installed old tongue and groove boards on the outside of our closet wall and installed the closet door, finished connecting electrical lines in our bedroom, primed Wyatt's bathroom which will also serve as a guest bathroom, puttied and caulked pantry wall, put up trim along the front living room wall and where the angled ceiling meets the flat ceiling in the living room and loft, sanded outside wall of Sara's bedroom.
 
August 3 - Took a break from the house to build a 20 by 4 foot raised vegetable garden frame, framed and installed door and boards on the outside of the storage closet under the staircase, began painting Wyatt's bathroom a lovely navy blue that he chose with Sara's help, began installing tin as tub surround in our bathroom, and did some other things but I'm not keeping as good a record these days as I did when we first began.
 
August 5 - August 11 - During the week we layered cardboard boxes, peat moss, and composted manure in half of the garden but discovered we need lots more soil.... David and Wyatt went under the house to remove and reroute gas lines for the stove which we temporarily connected to a propane tank and we have FIRE and can now cook at the house via my new gas stove (David's priority). Several days during the week and then finishing up on Saturday we were able to scrape all loose paint from our bedroom wall and the downstairs storage closet and outside bedroom closet wall. Then we applied  putty and caulk to get the walls ready to be primed and painted. We finished installing tin in our bathroom. We also installed a ceiling in Wyatt's bathroom and the laundry/mud room. Allie sanded the outside wall of the staircase. Wyatt and Allie removed nails from old cypress boards that we salvaged from a barn we tore down, then David planed the boards. One day during the week Sara, Wyatt and I discovered the hot wire fence down in the front and hot wire was not kicking at all. We fixed it to the best of our ability and then David and Wyatt later that day had to replace some of the plastic insulators with ceramic and redo some of the fence. Thank goodness that did the trick and since then nothing has gotten out.
