Waterproofing bathrooms, pool tile, stucco and cabinets going in

Lots of progress these last couple of days. These photos are all from today 3/3. All the baths have been waterproofed and the linear drains have been installed.

Ready for floor heating to go in:

Pool crew is working hard on tiling the infinity edge of the pool

Stucco 2nd layer - the brown coat - is being applied. 

And late today the cabinets were put in - not permanently right now. Primarily to check the fit and center them. But it's beginning to look like a kitchen.

Here is the kitchen island

And one side of the mudroom cabinets.

Painting the interior is almost done...

Most of the walls are now done and it's time to paint doors, trim, etc.

The white-balance on all these photos is a bit off - everything is very bright white. Due to the low sun and the plastic on the windows it looks much more yellow in the photos.

We are so happy with how the shadow-gap around the door frames came out. We love it!

During the next week they will be painting the steel staircase.

Pool progress as of 2/27

Water line tile installation in the pool is moving along nicely. So far they have covered about 50% of the inside of the pool and are continuing all week with that and the infinity edge later in the week.

All the pool equipment, filters and pumps are now installed in the pool shed as well.

It's time to assemble cabinets

Very early on we decided that we are going to use IKEA cabinets in the kitchen, mudroom and second unit kitchenette. We rented a U-Haul truck and drove over to IKEA and picked up everything we needed. 

Now it's time to begin assembling the cabinets. The first one took some time to put together, but then we started getting the hang of it and assembled 30 cabinets pretty quickly.

Hey Caroline - can you help fasten that bracket underneath?

Pool progress and drywall wrapping up

The drywall crew is in the process of wrapping up their work. It has taken 4 or 5 layers to get a perfectly smooth level 5 finish on all the interior walls - they have been applying more mud, sanding, checking with side-lights, etc over and over again. Pretty impressive to watch - those guys are magicians.

The pool contractor has begun laying the concrete coping around the pool.

Drywall - third layer

These pictures are from two weeks ago - the next layer of mud was applied and was drying when we took these shots. 

On the outside the stucco scratch coat is drying up nicely

Stucco - first coat complete

Earlier in the week, the first coat of stucco was completed. Now it has to dry for 20 days before they can apply the next coat.
