Installation of new wood siding is now complete.  With a little paint, it should blend right in with the existing work.

The modified bitumen roofing at the window wells was finished with a specialized version of the product which approximates the texture and color of roof shingles.

Back inside, sheetrock is hung, taped, and spackled, so it’s on with the fun part…finishes!  Previously in the blog, we alluded to many of the creative uses of reclaimed and re-purposed materials involved in this project, so it’s exciting to see some of these ideas start to materialize.

Outside the laundry/mechanical room, salvaged doors from the company’s office @ 1237 North Church Street are hung.  Layers of old paint were painstakingly removed by client Susan Gamble, and her efforts have been rewarded with a truly unique design element.

In the powder room, wood paneling from the carriage house’s horse stalls are reused as wainscoting.  Careful planning was required to get the coverage required from the material available (they don’t exactly sell this stuff at Home Depot).  Gaps at the bottom will be covered by baseboard once the new floor is installed.

In the main room, a sliding barn door has a new home, housing the electric panel (above left).  On the opposite wall, masonry work is completed for the new wood stove (above right).  The character of the room is certainly starting to take shape, but there’s still plenty of work yet to be done.
