First coat of poly

Clear finish but still seems quite a bit darker, we'll see when it dries fully.

New shoes

Not as quiet but should handle the snow and sand. Kuhmo AT51s 265/66R 18

Electrical boxes buried

Stray junction boxes now tucked below the floor...picture for future reference (or generations).

Back half prepped

Ready for cabinets post floor sanding...and electric.

Floor secure

Remaining floor fastened with a few exceptions (in floor electrical, detail work) - how for finishing. Planning to sand and likely fill gaps. Ended up using finish head trim screws, the the typical choice for floors but the holes are small, almost no splitting, countersunk for sanding and the boards can be removed within destroying them. Three per (9" true) board and spaced every 24" - seems solid, hopefully the will stay that way.

1/2 of subfloor prep complete

Still seems like a shame to cover it. Now I guess I have to commit to fasteners.

Floor nearly complete

Boards cut and in place at least, not fastened yet - will let them adapt to the climate first. Only just made it with minimal remaining boards pretty poor shape anyway. Not bad for a days work.
Many thanks to Peter for the reclaimed, 1"x10", quartersawn boards!

Re: Reclaimed floors taking shape

Reclaimed floors taking shape

Reclaimed floor

If I did the math right it just might work

Happiness...is a frosty roof

...mostly, couldn't do much about the rafters

Chipping away...

All dormer ceilings now complete

IKEA cabinet hack

...buying extra space for free

Explosion safe light set complete

After delays in source, the usual unpredictability of the restoration department and further delays in install...the set is complete.

Still more shiplap

Another ~300 lineal feet installed - one more big push (2 dormer roofs, 1 dormer) and finish detail.

First former nearly complete

Reclaimed wood - sorting and airing out

Looking like just enough...only just.

(Potential) reclaimed floor boards

For attic - compliments of the Kashous

More shiplap progress

Slowly but making progress - with help from Elke today.

More shiplap

Slow but steady progress

Shiplap begins

Will = way

Turns out you can get 12' board up to the 3rd floor by yourself even if they don't fit up stairs....should have gone with 16' boards!

Shiplap

Dinah work in attic begins.,.pretty amazing how much has been transported with this little wagon, my orginal Thule rack and 2 pieces of traveler line from s/v Grazie.

Trailer bike mods

Some grinding, some bending, some welding...it's not pretty but it's better than the original design.

Creating space

HVAC relocated, hook up tonight. Finally starting to look like space up here

Light!

Oddly satisfying when you complete wiring, flip on circuit and everything works....including polarity.
