Staining the Hardwood Floor

The oak hardwood floors on the main floor have been finished with a custom grey stain.  Our hardwood contractor, Eugene, says it is a unique effect.  All of the floors are currently covered to protect them until interior work is completed. 

Winter Beauty in Golden

Despite all the work on the house, we are taking moments to appreciate the winter beauty of Golden, our new home town.  Here is a winter panorama from our back deck and the ice on the Clear Creek.

Block Retaining Wall

One of the challenges of our hillside lot is designing ways to hold the hillside back, since we had to make radical slope cuts to create the flat building pad.  Along with 12 foot high basement walls on the uphill side of home, we needed to build block retaining walls along the north side of the driveway.  Adding to the challenge, the masons had to fit three block walls in the 6 feet between the driveway and the north lot boundary.  As you can see, they were up to the task and the result is beautiful.

Cabinets & Counter Tops

The finish carpenters have been working hard over the past 3 weeks to install and build cabinets throughout the house.  The counter tops were also installed.  Everything is ready for adding the appliances, sinks, and plumbing fixtures, once the interior painting is complete.

Happy 2015!

Happy New Year from the Peery Parkway project.  We are looking forward to finishing construction and moving into our new home in the next couple of months.  We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2015!

Garage Doors

The weather turned very cold during last week of December.  It interrupted the installation of the decorative block.  However, our garage doors were installed.  The doors help make the front of the house look more finished and they certainly warm up the garage with their insulation.
