Finished the walls in the second room of the addition

Did these in 3/4" beaded tongue and grove pine. Was going to do a herringbone pattern on one of the walls, but changed my mind. Thought it might be too busy:

Exposed rafters of course. As you woodworkers know, stain grade cuts on trim have to be precise. Here's the first addition room walls, different I know with the stonework, etc. Just like the main house, want each room to be different. Took the pictures without any lights on. I want to be able to walk around the house without lights, so it might look better with lights on:

Attachment 239462

Obtained some 5/8" rough cut cedar I'll use for the closet/storage area walls next in the addition off the second room. Excellent smelling and will lay it up as is, not finished. Hopefully I'll finish it all up with the floors before long. As in the main house for the floors, will use 3/4" tongue and grove - not the snap together 1/8" "real wood". Not sure if I'll tongue and grove it myself, lots of work involved. Thanks for looking.

Looking good Randy...

Looks great Randy

I like rustic.

Looks good that's what I did for a living built houses and log homes

Looks great, the herringbone sounds cool! To busy is a real possibility.

I love those pine walls. Looking good.

nice work.....

Nice Randy! Thanks for posting! You guys that can do that awesome woodwork have always made me envious!

Finished the storage/closet in the second room of the addition. Lined with rough cut cedar. Smells very nice:

Second, laid up one of the walls in the bathroom off the addition. Wanted this to be very rustic, they way we roll. Sanded hard on it, soaked it with a milk/whitewash, then put the polyurethane on top. Pretty pleased with this (in my opinion).

Attachment 241185

I know most folks like sheetrock, but I refuse to do that.

Looks great!

Looking awesome Randy.....you (and Ann) have excellent taste.....

beautiful work

Picked up some New England white pine today for the floors in the addition. Truck arrived at 9:00 and I was loaded at 10:00. It arrived shrink wrapped, and I put it into the addition to acclimate before I start laying it in the next couple of days. 3/4" X 5" with a 1/4" tongue unfinished. Yes, I did get lazy this time. With the main house, did 3/4" long leaf pine upstairs, and 3/4" red oak downstairs, and 3/4" yellow pine on the porch - all tongue and grooved myself with my shaper. Didn't feel like doing any tongue and grooving on such a large project - yes, lazy I know. This is the first load at 325 sq. ft.

Will order the other loads when I'm ready. I like the way it looks (remember - it's unfinished):

Attachment 243724

The subflooring is 1" plywood, and I have laid the tar paper (felt) down. This fellas will be a real floor. Don't care for the laminate or "engineered" flooring.

Your doing it the way I would do it! Looks excellent in the raw.

Its gonna be great Randy

Yep...everything he does is great.....

Thanks fellas.

Makes a man feel better about himself when he accomplished a task.

Laid the floor with the white pine in the one room in the addition. Fought it as usual knowing it was going to be checked, bowed, and warped. It was to be expected with unfinished 3/4" lumber, you fellas know what I'm talking about. Made sure it was tight all said and done. Sanded it good smooth. The unfinished floor laid:

Attachment 244872

I likes what I did. Not sure if I will stain it or not. Maybe just lay the polyurethane on it and call it good. Actually, I believe That's what I'll do.

Fixing to call it good and light up the grill.

Looks great

Looks good!

can't wait to see the finished floor......all that work makes my back hurt just looking at it.......

First coat on the floor in this room:

Laying the floor in the second room now:

Attachment 245845

Worked nicely flush with the granite fireplace I laid:

Attachment 245846

I likes. Reminds me of when I laid the 3/4" red oak against up against the tile floor. My calculations worked:

Attachment 245847

I know the porcelain tile looks somewhat odd the way I laid it. I think square tile is boring. There is a pattern in this tile floor, probably a good 500 sq. ft. There is a method in my madness:

Attachment 245848

The way we roll.

Looks great

Man you really do nice work Tracker!!

Randy, your kind of madness makes some fellers jealous. Very nice workmanship.

Very nicely done. Pm you email to me please.

Very nice work Randy.

The new master bedroom is finished. While it was pouring rain yesterday, we moved the essential pieces of furniture down from upstairs. Spent our fist night in there last night. While on our shopping adventure today through the flood water, Lowe's of course was on our list. Hee hee, Randy needed a night light. The outdoor security light is on the other side of the house. It was very dark in the new room. The vacated room upstairs will now be the WOMAN CAVE. LOL All my crafty stuff.

The guest room upstairs is very nice as well. Everything is antique, all from my grandfather's house in West Texas that he built himself. Bed, dresser, wardrobe, side tables, etc. Prime stuff. You all are welcome to stay here if need be. Got tired of walking up and down the stairs after 25 years, so added a master bedroom to the addition I built downstairs. Needed a night light out here in the woods in the new room. Very dark to say the least.

Yeh....don't get scared in the dark.....the haints might get ya lmao :Rofl :Rofl :Rofl

Randy you do some fine work. That is really nice.
