All kitchen cabinets set, wall painted, finished the pendant light and ready for countertops:

Starting the tile in the laundry room. Painted the room blue figuring a different color floor, found a slate that was real nice that doesn't match the walls so now I have to repaint it. So don't mind the blue color

Shower has cement board on it now. I'm waiting to test the plumbing before I cover up all the plumbing.

That's all for now

Laundry room floor is set, still need to grout it though. Anyone have suggestions for wall color besides the stupid blue? I was thinking a green but I'm not sure:

Master Bath floor is done. Still need to pick a color to go with the tile:

Also got some doors hung. The place is starting to close in:

Appliances are starting to trickle in:

I think I screwed myself cause I got the 3.5" Adams trim and it sits flush against the kitchen cabinets. Its fine now until we put in the countertops with the overhang. Not sure if it'll look better to notch the trim or have the countertop cut around the trim. Don't make me start a poll...

ratcityrex · « **Reply #184 on:** August 12, 2013, 07:22:18 PM »

Notch the trim. And then caulk it. At least that's what I would do. No sense in notching the counter as I'm sure its probably not inexpensive to cut it, and it will look fine with the trim notched.

This sounds logical

As for paint, I would try and choose a light brown paint that matches some of the lighter brown in the slate.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #187 on:** August 13, 2013, 04:37:38 PM »

Light sand color would look good.

No. Only full tubgirl re-creations. But we have to wait for the bathtub and bathroom to be fully finished to christen it right.

Thanks. It's better than no comments at all.

Finishing the septic. This is the tank for the water right before it gets pumped into the sandmound for it to evaporate:

Sandmound is about 225ft from the house:

Solid waste tank. 100ft from the house:

More trim. This is the dining room. Looks like an HGTV whore house but gotta keep the better half happy

Progress moving along now. Have to meet with someone tomorrow to finish the outside

I'm feeling the tile. Nice.

you guys usually leave the tops of the septic tanks above the ground out there?
here we bury them

The lids will be exposed slightly. The one near the sandmound will be 6" above grade. I can bury it easily but within the first year the gasses do build up in the tank and its better to leave the lids exposed so they can vent. If they can't vent out from the tanklid the only other option is the roofvents. And if the wind is right it can blow the smell through the soffits. I'm just going to leave them exposed and maybe eventually bury the lids or just plant bushes around them

ratcityrex · « **Reply #197 on:** August 28, 2013, 07:14:57 PM »

Yeah, out here they leave the vent exposed above the ground. Its pretty easy to reloacte the vent once the inspections are done. Otherwise plant bushes around it like said.

Whitey · « **Reply #198 on:** August 28, 2013, 09:51:45 PM »

I heave cleanout's inbetween the house and the shit tanks. They can easily be cut down. There's also 4 pipes our of the sandmound. Those can be cut at ground level once everything is established. The only thing is the concrete tank lids that take a little effort to cover. Truthfully, they are both in the woods that will be overgrown within a year so I'm not too worried about it. If it was in my lawn or an area that everyone would see all the time I'd want to bury them more. but right now I'm not too worried about it

If I had flooring this place would look finished:

Have you done this enough that you knew right where to put the baseboards? I'd be afraid of that not working out and do the baseboards after the flooring.

random-strike · « **Reply #205 on:** September 03, 2013, 01:09:24 PM »

can't believe you can stand doing it all. its a lot of work.

i'm doing floors in my house and i've done two rooms and a hallway and i've had enough. suck when the house is full of shit too

I'm basically out of patience with everything. This whole thing has been so draining I'm just pissed off all the time and ready for it to be done. Its nice that I can see light at the end of the tunnel and this place might actually be finished soon. Sometimes I think it would have been easier to hire a builder but it definitely would have cost me a lot more and I hear so many horror stories of people dealing with a builder. I took the harder route but I think it'll pay off in the end. I guess we'll see when the house gets appraised $:-\$

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #208 on:** September 04, 2013, 12:40:24 PM »

Nothing worth doing was ever easy!

Why take the easy road when the harder one is just more entertaining! Keep it up, its almost there!

How many people today can say they built there own house?
let alone a nog.

All I see a ton of what to be proud of when you say "This my house".

Chalk one up for accomplishing more than than the average guy.
