January 9, 2013: Brown coat, taping and tile base

We've now got three different crews working simultaneously:  Stucco, wallboard finishers and tile setters.  We also met with the cabinet maker today.

The brown coat went on quick.  I did not get a picture of the application.  This is the north side of the house with the brown coat applied.

Inside, the wallboard finishers are busy doing taping.

Back to the outside, the front has the brown coat.

Back to the inside, this is the girls bathroom.  Sandon and his crew have applied the tile base.

The tub/shower has been prepped for it's tile base.

Taping has started in Alex's bedroom.  This is from the doorway.

The north side of the house from the garage.

The main entryway.  It's really starting to look more finished with the brown coat.  Also, the front door was installed, but the door was removed and replaced with a temporary door.  This left the frame for the stucco crew to work with.

The south side, two story section, with its brown coat.

Looking the other direction on the south side again.  Brown coat complete.

The back of the house.  The main patio section has been brown coated.

Back inside, this is Edgar. He is the wallboard finisher foreman.  He's very quick and very good.

The A/V and network closet is looking more finished.  My bundle of cables are surviving.

Sandon (facing away from the camera) and Jason (?, not sure that's his name) working the master bathroom tile base for the floor.  The are very methodical and very good.

One of their leveling techniques.

Back down stairs, this is a picture of how they fill in sections cut out for the brackets.

The stairwell is coming together.

These are the texture samples.  We're going with something in between the two.
