My Mother's House: January 2009
http://mabennionshouse.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2009. Finishing work takes so much longer while it is happening then you ever think it will. We are so close to being done. The floors are done (all but a small patch upstairs that is waiting for another box of lumber). The painting is just about done. (just the laundry and garage to go). The electrical finishing work is almost done. The appliances are almost all in, (just the fridge and the propane to go for the range). Here are some pictures of what is new this week. There will be ...

My Mother's House: Stone
http://mabennionshouse.blogspot.com/2008/11/stone.html
Sunday, November 2, 2008. The stone work and stucco are well on their way now. Mom opted for faux. Stone at the corners of the house. They are made of concrete and look like river stone in colors that mom chose. This is what they look like from underneath. Some of the stones are specially shaped to go around corners. Here is some detail at my front door. They have also been putting up the sheet rock. This is in mom's store room upstairs. This is a close-up of one of her cubbies. It all looks great!

My Mother's House: Mud and Stucco
http://mabennionshouse.blogspot.com/2008/11/mud-and-stucco.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Lots of little things have been happening this week. The Sheetrock is pretty much done and the finishers have started mudding. At an alarming rate. They had the floor covered, taped and had started the ceiling and mid wall tape before I left with mom this morning at 10:00 am to go visit the Dr and do some fun shopping. This is mom's living room. They will adding bull nose. Trim to all the corners and and egg shell finish to the walls. Was very worried about the wall shaking.

My Mother's House: New Doors
http://mabennionshouse.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-doors.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. Yes I know we are over due for a post here. The work that has been going on isn't all that photo worthy. Just more electrical, heat and air and stuff like that. However, there were a few interesting bits this past week and I will post those pictures now. Eric worked on getting some of the new doors set as we cleaned up the place. Laundry/Mud room door. We recycled the window from the girl's room upstairs for this room. Back door off mom's kitchen to her patio and porch.

My Mother's House: May 2008
http://mabennionshouse.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 31, 2008. I woke up this morning to a lot of banging around. I wondered what on earth Joe was up to then I remembered getting up with him at 4:30 this morning to get him off to a ward temple trip to Oklahoma City. Then I heard the distinctive. Sound of a nail gun and realized that Eric and his crew were there and it was much later in the morning than I thought. I didn't get a picture. Links to this post. Friday, May 30, 2008. It is always misty and just beautiful. What a gorgeous scene.
