Finishing the
deck....
The
company we
bought the
Bamboo home
from wouldn't
sell us bamboo
railings that
would be
exposed to
rain, because
they wouldn't
hold up as
long....
so we had to
make our
own...
We
decided to go
with treated
fence posts,
that are made
to be outside,
and small
bamboo poles
for the slats.
I then painted
them to look
like the bamboo
on the house!
Turned out
great! I even
painted the
downspout to
look like
bamboo.
GIANT CAT
takes over our
house!
Finally, time
to get the
drywall
up!
It
wasn't easy,
being Shaun's
first time, but
particularily
because bamboo
walls are not
flat....
None the less
Shaun did a
great job of
getting the
drywall
installed!
We
had it
professionally
mudded, then we
painted it. I
think the paint
color was
called Woodrow
Wilson Blush.
Zero VOCs! Just
an off white
with a hint of
peach.
We also painted
the floor a
slightly darker
shade.
Someday, we
would like to
install bamboo
flooring
too.
The plumber
finally
showed up and
installed our
shower!
And, even
better, an
outside shower
and bath! Still
needs a little
work, but it
works and is
wonderful!!
We added more
Solar panels
too.
Kitchen
Cabinets got
installed!
I built the
Kitchen
Peninsula /
island, and a
pantry.
Shortly after,
we recieved
legal
owner/occupant
status.
The final
inspection came
through. We had
to make a
couple minor
changes:
putting our
address on the
house, and
making the
railings, in a
couple places,
just a little
tighter, then
we passed!
