This time around, Mats did more drywall work, painting and wiring

I was treated to a gorgeous sunset in the ocean

 

Rare, usually there is a cloud bank out there.

 

Not too many pictures this time, had camera problem. This is taken with my cell phone.

 

Dusty, messy, overspray. Drywall dust everywhere....

 

I bought a small airless paint sprayer, made relatively quick work of spraying about 35 gallons of paint!

 

Gairey is spraying the texture on the ceiling. It's Very Messy work!

 

First coat of paint.

 

Final coat.

 

The bedroom windows and back door.

 

Here is the shop. On the floor is all the lumber for the loft railing.

 

The loft railing and stair are up.

 

On the far wall is where the kitchen area will be.

 

Future living room...

 

Dining area, cleaned up and ready for next meal. Note pendant lights. Kitchen counter will be under them.

 

Mats' future shop, getting cleaned up.

 

Pretty much ready to move in my woodworking machines.

 

View from the loft.

 

The living room.

 

The toilet. Top of the line compostiong toilet. Next time I will hook it up. (needs a vent)

 

Mood lights....

 

I enjoyed doing the wiring.

 

I managed to squeeze in a trip th Hawi and the north shore, the green and wet side of the island.

 

Beautiful sea cliffs.

 

Beautiful valleys.

 

A rare beast on Hawaii...

 

Let's finish off with a nice sunset picture.
