Kitchen

The house is very, very close to being completed. Vermont folk, please think of anyone you know who may be interested in renting or buying a house.

Interior Partitions

Here (above and below) are a couple of views showing the completed siding and exterior trim.

Propane tanks! The boiler is almost completely installed.

Detail of how much of the wiring is hidden in the house.

Trim around the windows and doors is done.

I've finally started putting the tongue and groove pine board on the interior partitions. The last big phase of the project.This view is from the downstairs bedroom looking into the closet and the hall.

This is looking down the same hall, but from the other side of the bedroom.

Most of the wiring rough-in is finished as is almost all of the plumbing.

For Sale! $195,000. (And the siding is almost complete).

This house is about a mile from downtown Randolph, Vermont. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Each bedroom is about 10 x 15 feet and the kitchen/dining room is 15 x 24. The kitchen/dining room has a cathedral ceiling (13 feet at the peak). It is not a big house, but rooms are nicely sized due to an efficient, architect designed layout. Heat (radiant slab) and domestic hot water are provided by an ultra efficient (96.5%) propane boiler. This house will be easy to heat and maintain. The beautiful interior is all tongue and groove pine and the post and beam construction is exposed.

The lot is 1.4 acres and is in a quiet neighborhood, but very close to schools and just a few minutes from exit 4 on I-89. The road has no through traffic. Nice neighbors. Town water and sewer. Borders Ayers brook (see photo below).

The house is not yet complete. The rough plumbing and heating are almost done and the wiring has begun. Much trim work remains and the kitchen cabinets and the interior doors are not yet in. No lighting or plumbing fixtures have yet been installed. The floors need to be finished. The buyer of the house can make many of the remaining decisions about how the house will be finished (but construction is ongoing). Certain options may increase costs and the buyer can opt, as well,  to purchase the house with certain features uncompleted for decreased costs. Appliances and kitchen counters are negotiable.

Please see other posts in this blog for more details and photos, including photos of the interior.

Randolph is  a great town.

Thanks,

A view of the interior.

Siding and Plumbing

Siding!!!

You can start to get an idea of what it's going to look like when done.

Some of the upstairs vents and drains.

Stairs, Roofing, Windows and Interior Framing

The roof is now completely on. Notice the ridge cap on the lower section. The ridge cap is installed on the upper section as of today, but I don't have a photo of that yet. All the windows are in as well.

Roof and windows. Front of house.

Interior framing.

No longer need a ladder to get to the second floor!!!!

Most of the remaining framing will be finished tomorrow. Exterior doors will go in this week, too. The next big phase will be the exterior siding. Plumbing should start soon. Then wiring.

Interior Framing, Windows and Roof

Looks nice with a roof.

Framing for the upstairs bathroom and closets.

Downstairs bedroom windows.

Kitchen windows.

Kitchen Wall, Insulation and Strapping

The insulation and strapping is now complete over the entire house, including the newly completed south kitchen wall. Next will be the roof, windows and doors and interior partitions. Once the interior partitions are framed the plumber can come back and then electrician can start. 

South kitchen wall. Not a bad view!

This time including the windows on the west side as well.

One Story Section Sheathing

View into the newly sheathed section from the old section.

Second window from the right will be over the sink.

Nice view of the kitchen/dining area ceiling.

Please let me know if you read this blog. Comment below or send me a quick note via e-mail or Facebook. Thanks, Larry

Roof Insulation and One Story Frame

I'm adding the last bits of 2" insulation to the roof.

The frame for the one story section is up! This part of the house is where the kitchen and dining area will be.

Nice view through the trees.

Insulation and Strapping

The two story section now has insulation and strapping on all the walls except above where the one story section connects to it. The strapping is nailed through the insulation and sheathing to the posts. It holds the insulation down and also provides a nailing surface for the vertical exterior siding. Notice also that the roof finally has Typar on it and so now snow removal is pretty much restricted to the outside of the house.

Rafter trusses patiently waiting to be erected over the one story section.
