LOL well the boards for the built in entertainment center were looking pretty dry and all the joints in them will either be hidden or radiused so if there is shrinkage caused by drying you won't see it. So I started building it tonite.
My wife came up and took some pic's for me, in the main room there is a bunch of orbs in the pic's. She says they are ghosts but I have 2 big fans and a heater blowing up there to dry this wood. So all my dust is staying pretty suspended and that is what you see.....OR IS IT..........
Here I am building the cubby's in the base of the entertainment center. It will be doorless so I don't know what kind of crud she plans on putting in there, I just build it.
The library, I havn't done much in there yet. Just the base for the book shelf and the electrical trim.
Her sewing room, you can see in the second pic that I have installed the Pergo in there. What a pain in the back and knees.
My stack of lumber that I plained up yesterday.

I stopped at a used building matierials store today after work and I found this door for $70 it looks brand new. We priced new one's at $180 today, not gonna pay that much so I am keeping my eye open for another similar door.
The other bookshelf space, once again not much going on here yet.
Me screwing boards on, I had a miscalculation so back to the sawmill for me this weekend, I didn't cut enough for this.
My room where the desk will sit.
And looking out the door of the office.
The super cool moose light fixture I talked my wife into letting me get for the library. She hated them at the store but now she loves them. Weomen....
looking out of the library into the main room.
And this is the storage room, as finished as it is gonna get for now.

WOW I wish you were my neighbor of the house I have to build.
My wife can't find a house she likes so I told her to go find some land that she likes and we will just build, oh the headaches.
It is looking great!

Well I have been busting my back on this, the wife wants it done by the first of April. I may just make it. So far I have all the floors down and the electrical 100% done. I have started sanding, staining and installing the wood trim. I hate sanding.
Here is a quick picture of what the trim looks like.

Well it has been coming along nicely, I am all but done so I moved some stuff into my office.
Here is the desk and the 12 gallon nano sitting in thier new home. LOL I think this is the cleanest the desk has been ever. I have a bunch of stuff that go's on it but just havn't had time to bring it up yet.
My built in entertainment center with just the base done so far.
And this is one of the bookshelves just not stained yet. The top of the entertainment center will be the same.
