Panelling, sanding, tiling, flooring, counters, etc...

We are doing a ton of work, everyday, after our "real" jobs and 14 hour weekend days but we have lots to show for it!  Getting closer and closer to being done.  

Once again, after we are finished with the move, we will go into more details for each step.  As always, if you have any questions please ask and we will do our best to get back to you soon.

Super quick update


For those of you who are following our progress on the house with bated breath (we know, we know, it's just us and Kati....), we are down to a minuscule 19 DAYS before we move out of our current home and into the tiny house! Which means it is super crunch time around the Carroll residence these days.

If we're not out at the house pounding nails into something, we're at our current duplex packing boxes, making Goodwill runs, or scrubbing things down. It has been very freeing over the past few weeks giving away even MORE of our possessions to charity, being left with only what we truly need. For anyone who has never tried a possessions purge, I strongly encourage you to give it a shot--you'll be amazed at how unburdened you feel without all those things sitting around in closets and on shelves "just in case" you need them, when in reality it'll probably just sit there for another few years untouched.

We've finished all the panelling on the interior walls, and this weekend we'll start tiling the floor in the bathroom and sanding down the interior wood in preparation for sealing and trim. We're also building kitchen cabinetry as well. Jeff is planning to install the hot water heater and wrap up the electrical.

So please forgive the lack of posts that is currently happening, but we promise we'll update more once we're moved in!!! :) Thanks so much to all of our friends for your incredible support and all your hard work that you are so graciously giving to our project! We couldn't do it without all of you!

Interior panelling and exterior stain!


This weekend was very productive thanks to a few friends that came and helped!  Thanks to Luke, Cinthya, and Oliver.  Tara, your awesome, thanks for staying the weekend with us and helping out, we really appreciated and enjoyed hanging out with you. 

We were able to get a full two coats of stain on the house and put about half of the interior panelling up.  It was a lot of work, but well worth the hours.  It was mid to high 80's both Saturday and Sunday so thank you again to our friends for putting up with the heat to help us out.  


 First coat going on...
