It's 5:00 Somewhere...

The Temperance home is getting ready for some entertaining! The wet bar in the basement is coming together with beautiful custom cabinetry. Having a bar in the main entertainment room has become a popular addition because it allows the host to serve guests without the hassle of running to and from the kitchen. Incorporating a sink into your bar allows for easy preparation and clean-up. This wet bar has the luxury of a dishwasher which keeps the bar dishes separated from the kitchen dishes and makes entertaining as easy as can be! Check out the development of the bar at Temperance and start dreaming about your entertaining possibilities!

A Skeleton No More

Over the last month the bare bones of temperance have been covered with drywall which has been through tape and mud and is now being painted! Everything is coming together, including the backyard deck.
Take a visual walk through the main floor of the house below. Do you recognize it? We swear it's the same house!

Step by Step

The Temperance build is a continual work in progress and is getting closer to completion everyday. We have been working step by step to perfect the interior and, although we haven't had any visuals of completed work for you, a lot of change has occurred. The drywall is all hung and the mud and tape process is about three quarters complete. This week we will add a little colour to the home with paint on the main and upper floors. Also, the stairs to the basement have been installed making trips up and down a little easier for everyone! BP Banister is continuing to work on the upper curved staircase which will be stained late this week.

Outside of the main living area there has also been some progression. The garage is completely finished and is now being used as a staging point for cabinetry, casings, baseboards, interior doors, and tile. Now that winter has arrived working on the deck and keeping access to the hot tub has become a little more difficult, but it's happening, nonetheless!

Keep checking back for a video update...we will have it up as soon as we can twist Tom's arm enough to get back out with the video camera!
