Jeff and Paul put in a long day today, first finishing the drywall mudding, then bringing up the bathtub from the basement, and finally starting on the bathroom flooring. They got a few boards down before Paul headed back home, but Jeff continued on, finishing about 3/4 of the room while the last coat of drywall mud set up.

We decided to fill the character nail holes in the floor boards, just in the bathroom, to better waterproof this floor. Tonight, Jeff tried a black-colored product that blended in nicely with the blackened oxide surrounding the holes. We were told this product would eventually harden, but after using some of it and later reading "non-hardening" on the can, we will probably have to switch to another product. The photo at the left shows the holes on the left side filled compared to the empty holes on the right.

After Jillena and Jeff filled all the holes in the bathroom floor with a natural colored hardening wood filler, including adding filler to the holes mentioned on the 13th above, Jillena painted every one of them black. This was a lot more work, but proved to yield the best look in the end. Outside, few loads of dirt were delivered. Jeff was busy working on drywall, with Stephen helping later in the day.

Today, Paul and Jeff layed the flooring boards for the staircase landing, with the exception of the ones that need to go under the upper staircase section. Most of the rest of our crew was on chinking duty. Stephen and his uncles used their landscaping experience on the front yard.

Bob was out today to help Jeff lift the upper staircase out so he could lay the last two flooring boards on the landing and hang the last sheet of drywall in the stairwell. Bob also finished the side entry steps.
