Deer Run- 16x26 in Oklahoma

Ive finally had a chance to go through the last ten pages or so  The cabinets are gonna look great.  Everything's gonna look great.

Scott has your brother started his cabin yet?  Are you gonna have any design input.

[ScottA]

Thanks.
My brother started dug his footings but that's as far as he got so far. He's had some other issues to deal with lately. Yes I'm helping him with the design but it will be much simpler than ours.

Scott, are you planing the wood down before you make cabinets or simply using stock material?

Nope, just saw the boards and sand them. They are basic but look pretty nice.

I think basic is great.  It is really not a necessity to go beyond serving the function intended.  Wood has it's own inherent beauty.

Golly!  Looks like you're almost done.  Hadn't checked this thread in so long I had about ten pages to catch up on.  It is just gorgeous, Scott. 

[Redoverfarm]

Looking good Scott.  Yeah it hard to get rid of those little cubby doors in a loft area but now it is not wasted space. 

[jdhen]

Impressive, Scott.  I really like the built-in desk.  I think I'm going to copy you on that! 

[TexstarJim]

That's the wonderful thing about building your own home, all the special little tricks you can do yourself to add character and charm to your home.  Scott has no lack of imagination and is doing some great things.  It won't be too long until I invite myself up to see this rascal.  I know I can find him, just follow the satellite image........hahaha.

[ScottA]

You guys are too kind. Jim we'll be having some sort of open house when it's done. You and anyone else who wants will be welcome to come visit.

Scott, question about the stone mortar stove wall.

Is that the kind of stone wall sold at home depot/lowes in boxes?  It looks great and I'm thinking of doing the same thing myself. Thats why I'm asking.

Thanks,
Sean

[ScottA]

Yes. The stone came from Lowes.

[Jens]

I am sure it says somewhere in this thread what kind of a woodstove you have, But I don't want to look for it right now.  It looks almost exactly like ours, except ours has a solid door.  What make/model is it?

Sorry I didn't manage any new pics this week. The trim work is mostly done now. I've got 10 of the 18 cabinet doors made. They are very time consuming. I picked up the last of the wood I needed for the cabinetry in the storage loft and the closet today. I'm trying to figure out what to make the drawers out of. The lumber yard guy suggested 1/2" birch plywood. Any suggestions? The wood for the main floor is in the house aclimating. I need to be done with all the woodwork in 2 weeks so I can start finishing. Busy...busy.

[Redoverfarm]

Scott I just went with standard 1X (3/4") pine with luan 1/4" ply for the bottoms.  The drawers would only be 1/2" narrower than using 1/2" stock.

Some new pics.

This pics for Don.



Just a tiny bit of trim left to finnish up followed by sanding then the finnishes start. Still need to build the drawers over the next few weeks. Once all the finnishes are done I'll install the cabinet doors.

[phalynx]

That floor looks incredible...   

[MountainDon]

This pics for Don.

  nice doors. good view. 

[jdhen]

Wow, Scott.  Those floors look great!  So there's no T&G?  Do I see finish nails about every 8 in or so at the edges?
Do you plan on sanding them?

[ScottA]

The nails are 7d case head screw nails made for floors. There is a row of 3 nails every 8". Yes the entire floor will be sanded flat and finnished next week. The wood has been in the house drying for 6 weeks. They call this a square edge wide plank floor. I did it according to some info I got from a flooring contractor. The wood I used is not as fancy as most use though. There is 15# felt paper between the planks and the subfloor.

[mtman]

All I can say is WOW! Really looking good Scott. Now since you took a pic for Don,now you got to take one for Glenn, course that means you have to park the backhoe in sight 

[ChuckinVa]

I see you got you one of those fancy West Va chandeliers over the medicine cabinet. I didn't know you could wall mount them too ?
