Guest Bedroom

April 13, 2008

We decided to kill two birds with one stone, and drywall, texture and paint the guest bedroom while we were doing the office next door.

As you can see, we added more closet lights, attached to another dimmer switch. It was a lot of work, but now all three bedrooms have fully-lighted closets. Woo-hoo.

Take a close look. This will soon become a standard feature of any 21st-Century home- in addition to a coaxial jack, each room will also get a cat5e jack. This single wire will soon bring high-speed Internet, telephone, radio, movies, video games, and a plethora of other digital content into each room of the house. A must-have feature for any do-it-yourself-er, or hard-core geek.

Left to do:

  • Install floor (carpet?)
  • Install closet door
  • Install bedroom door
  • Tile windowsills
  • Tile weird step thing
  • Install blinds

Office

April 13, 2008

The office has been drywalled, textured and painted.

The wall plates have been stained to match the ceiling fan blades.

Over in the corner, the cat5e cables have been installed into a wall plate, creating a nice clean look.

Left to do:

  • Install floor (hardwood?)
  • Install closet door
  • Install bedroom door
  • Tile windowsills
  • Install blinds

The office is entering the home stretch. So close, I can taste it.
