The Guest House: The Building Process Part II

Here is Part II of our guest house and garage that we began building in 2009. I thought I would have photos of the carpeting installed to post today... but it's still not installed.

Here's hoping Mr. Carpet Layer #2 still comes through for us!



House is wrapped and windows begin to go in.



View of back of house before wrapping and windows.



It was an exciting day when the stairs went in! You can see where small bathroom will be underneath the stairs.



Another shot of stairs taken from the garage door. Shows entire first floor of house.



Bay windows next to kitchen. These really helped define some character to the first floor.

 

More stairs. By now, they have put plastic between the house and garage to keep the heat contained in the house.

  

Electricity is run and recessed lighting installed throughout the house.
 

Electrical inspection was passed and work progresses... the heating and plumbing are going in now.
 

Flooring installed in upstairs bath after partial drywall and tub/shower is moved in.
 

Wall was removed in the bedroom to install the bath/shower into the bathroom.



Insulation in upstairs bonus room.



Another view of insulation. From this angle, the half door to attic storage space is seen along with the upstairs bath and bedroom. Stairs seen in the middle of the photo.

Drywall really changed the feel of the house! The rooms became very defined and actually felt larger than we thought they would.
 

Garages are insulated and drywall went up. Both garages are finished just like the interior of the guest house.



Drywall in upstairs bonus room.



Another shot of bonus room.
 

Upstairs landing. Bathroom straight ahead and bedroom to the left. Linen closet in the hallway and half door to attic on the right.
 

Taping the sheetrock.
 



More taping...



This is the inside of the upstairs attic room. There is a lot of storage room in here!
 

Texturing the walls...
 

Everything is pretty much done and walls are textured. Painting is next!



This is how the garage guest house looked for many months!



I will post Part III : The painting and exterior finishing later this week!

Thanks for visiting!
