Two Silos Farm

Recently hubby and I were talking about our progress. We figure about another year on the house. Then we'll start on something else. That is the problem when you have enough land to fit a few extra buildings or livestock on.

I figure maybe after we've been done on the house for a year, I can start working on my husband about the attached garage. He does not mind new construction, but sure does hate the gutting and dealing with rooms where nothing is quite square or level. Just makes for a bit more thinking before cutting. It's that "thinking" part that throws him off.

He does excellent work, but sometimes misses things cause he didn't think about it first. He installed a door yesterday. We had already installed the subfloor, so I figured we would need to cut some off the bottom of the door frame so the bottom of the door would just clear the carpet. I was resting, so he got the idea he would install the door without my help. Did a wonderful job, door is level and plumb, and looks real nice. Except for the 1" gap between the bottom of the door and the carpet.

He said he didn't think about that - since usually we have to worry about raising the door, never cutting some off. But usually we install the door BEFORE the flooring, not afterwards.

Oh well, not a big deal, but I know it will annoy me when I am watching TV and light is coming in from under that door - I know, I'll just have to NOT watch TV LOL!!

Actually, if it does bother me, I'll put a sweep on the back side of the door and that will take care of the problem. And I guess it is better than having doors that barely open because the builder didn't allow enough room for the height of carpet and padding.

Here are pictures of the reloading room with the sheetrock up but before hubby installed the door

While hubby was nailing down the subfloor, he hit another nail with this nail, and it curled it right around. He had to dig it out of the flooring.

And this is the “underside” – the stairwell to the basement.
