End of 15th week

Finish Carpentry

 

 The doors, trim and material for cabinets arrives.

 

Knotty Alder Plywood - for Kitchen, Living Room and Master & Guest Baths

 

Profile of Crown Molding

 

Profile of Base Trim

 

 

 

The finish carpenters start by turning our 3 car garage into their workshop and staging area.

 

 

 

 

And when that area wasn't big enough, they set up an additional table saw for plywood in the living room and kitchen area!

 

 

This is Sergio working on some cabinets

 

Arched Closet doors

 

 

Door cased out 

 

Double Crown Molding - Made by flipping base molding upside down about 10 inches from ceiling, then nailing the crown to it.  Makes the crown look a lot bigger and more expensive for a fraction of the cost of choosing a very wide crown.

 

Base Molding 5 1/4 inch tall.  Notice how with the round corners, they have to miter around the corner with 22 1/4 degree miters.

 

Double Crown detail around fireplace

 

Cased out windows downstairs

 

Cased out double closet doors in Guest Bedroom.  We had the carpenters build some shelves and have 2 rods on one side and a tall single rod on the other side

 

Upstairs Hall Closet - Again we had Sergio and his crew build some shelves. 

 

Window Stool Detail Upstairs (only downstairs windows were fully cased out)

 

Upstairs Bedroom Closet, again we had the carpenters build a custom closet system

 

Master Closet Shelves and Shoe racks - it does make this room a lot narrower

 

 

Master Closet Drawers and Rods

 

Sergio and his crew today started on Kitchen Cabinets.  They will have Knotty Alder fronts, and the only Knotty Alder Plywood on sides where you might see it.  These 3 cabinets are in a tight corner between the range and where the refridgerator will be.

 

This is the Laundry Room cabinets.  Not as many as in our previous home, but once you see the pantry, you won't have to worry about storage space!  As you can see, Rachel and I moving the washer hookups late one night a couple of weeks ago ended up working out great.  The box is to the right of the base cabinet and we will be able to put a sliding drawer hamper like we had in our last home in that base cabinet.
