Paint & Soffit

Another step closer to the finish line: the interior of the house has been painted. As mentioned before, our choice was Sherwin Williams Kilim Beige, with trim at quarter-strength.

Another finishing detail in progress: kitchen backsplash (Cosmic Square Graphite 6x6 from WOW).

Soffit

On the outside, the soffit is being finished before they put up the stone and finish the stucco.

It may look like wood, but it’s not. We decided to go with the low-maintenance SAGIWALL V-Groove in Caramel Cedar by Sagiper.

One drawback of this material is that it required fastening every 18 inches, and the roof trusses are 24 inches apart, so they had to add extra 2x4s in-between the trusses.

Office

The office is taking shape: I’ve assembled the standing desk from UPLIFT Desk. For now, it’s sadly stuck at the lowest level until the electricians arrive.

I added some pictures to show how the house was constructed.

I was lucky to be there when this first snow arrived (and quickly disappeared). Kanab has been way too dry this winter, hoping for more rain and snow.
