Vocational House Update 3...Almost Finished!!!
Posted: Thu May 11, 2006 8:18 pmIts been a long year, a lot of sweat & blood has went into this house. The more I've thought about it, this house has been kind of a symbol of the highschool years. Starting out with nothing more then a foundation and eventualy building untill it is finished, you leave and the family begins a new life.
Much like school. You work from the bottom and over the years you build yourself up. Once your teachers have finished their work you are ready to start a new life of your own.
In a way I'm kind of sad to see this house almost finished. Starting this year it seemed so long till school is out. Now its down to less then 2 weeks left till we walk out of that house for the last time. Just like that my senior year will be almost gone
Its time to start a new life. But its never going to be the same. In the next few months friends will be departing and everyone I know will be going their own ways as will I. Its really strange sitting here thinking about how quickly things are about to change. After June 2nd there will be no more summer breaks. Wont be walking back into those doors in the fall.
Anyways...Enough text...after all...this is the photo forum
For those of you who missed parts 1 & 2. Heres the links.

Open house was tonight so I accualy had time to get some pics. They are not the best quality due to resize and that I've discovered it wouldnt hurt to clean the lense of my camera
Was a little wet for outside pics. Raining buckets really 
Start off with the kitchen, ladder is there due to a freshly grouted floor. Off to the left is a small pantry and also the door to the laundry room which also contains a shower. Have all of the upstairs doors in but still working on the floors here in the downstairs.
Other side of the kitchen. These homeowners went pretty cheap on some of the building supplies but when it came down to the interior it was all in the big bucks. Those cabinets alone were in the thousands of dollars. All cabinets thoughout the house are solid wood. All 3 bathrooms, the kitchen, laundry room, and back entrance are tile floors.
Moving on to the living room. Not much to look at yet but the hardwood floor will be started tomorrow. Expensive fans and lighting are throughout the house as well...
...Which brings me to the prized peice...Up in the dormer above the stairs. $500 chandelier
Really would have went for something a bit cheaper Then again the front door is down below.
Off to the master bedroom. Also hardwood floor (I think) Fanciest fan in the entire place.
And from the bedroom to the master bathroom...this thing not only has a shower stall but a separite tub and a his and hers vanities.
Moving upstairs to my favorite room. Finished other then a little window trim. Dark hunter green walls with a white ceiling, and wood floor. Once trimmed out I wanted this room. One of the best looking ones imo
And saved the worst for last. This little half bathroom right off to the left as you enter the front door. Only a sink and a crapper here. Horrible color choices here. Dark pink, black floor etc, then wood trim (window not trimmed yet) :-/ The owners were doing a great job on the color choices untill they came to this little disaster
So anyways. At last its coming together. Will get some better shots when I have time and some more is done. Only around 8 days left to finish as much as we can.
