The Exit Room

Here is the second post in a series of finished rooms.

In case you missed the first one it was on the dining room.

I'm going to start posting the rooms that we have finished as we finish them.

They are not cleaned or decorated, but they will all have flooring, lighting, and all of the construction done on them.

This is the "EXIT" room.

This room is to the left when you walk in the house from the garage.

This view is from the back porch looking in through the hallway and ending at the half bathroom door.

The walls are painted green.

The trim is all white.

The door to the right is oak, it leads to the attic above the garage. 

The picture below is from the hallway out to the back porch.

We are planning on adding a pool out there where all that nice dirt is as soon as we can.

So, when that is done, you will be able to get from the pool to the half bathroom easily. 

This porcelain tile is what we have in here, the hallway, and the entry way.

You can't tell by the pictures here, but this flooring has brown, tan, and grey in it. 

This is why I refer to this small hallway as "The Exit Room".

I found this light on Ebay and I couldn't resist!

Needless to say, it was the starting point for this room.

Next up in the series is the upstairs hallway.

Doors and Door Handles

As I promised, here is a picture of the front door.

I haven't decided what color to stain it yet.

Originally I was going to stain it to match the floor of our Trex (wood looking) floors on the porch.

But we decided against the Trex flooring and went with cement floors.

So..............I'm not sure what to do with the color, maybe black to match the roof?

I wanted to show you the transom window above the door.

It's my favorite part.

We really like the darker bronze finish that some of the door knobs have right now, but we had to do the silver to match the silver lead in the cut glass design in the door.

When the sun shines through the front door in the late afternoon it makes beautiful rainbows all over the floor.

Here is a shot of the basement walk out.

We went with the silver to match the lead in the doors also.

We have decided the single lever door handle is so much easier to use than the regular door knob, so we are going to use these as much as possible. 

Right now Big Ran is still working on siding the eaves, he will be done with that this week.

Moving right along.

Trusses in Place

We have most of our trusses in place, now we need to get a roof on this place!

Here's what our house looks like now.
Do you see those flat places on the very top of the trusses?
Those still need the peeks put on, but the builders are doing that as they get to the top so they have something to climb on.

Just in case you haven't noticed, this house has a lot of different roof lines.

I am going to need a lot of Christmas lights!

This is part of our back porch.

Hopefully there will be some shingles up there next week.
