Building a Round House

Part 4 - Interior Work - Downstairs

Summer - Fall 2006

Framing

With the basement floor finally poured, we can now start finishing the basement. (View the floor plans.)

A floor--finally!

Framing takes shape. Back room is for storage, then two closets for a bedroom.

Center room and door.

Two bedrooms along the southeast section. Outside door is just off to the right.

View from door. Left-to-right: bedroom, utility room, bathroom, stairs, storage room.

Stairs

One of the last details to be finished--trim for the stairway to the downstairs.

Stairs are ready for carpet, but a lot of painting still needs to be done!

Last item to be finished: carpeting on the stairs.

Center Room

Center room downstairs. The weird artifacts are due to compositing of three photos.

Vinyl floor installed at downstairs entry. The black dots on the wall are lady beetles-yuck!

Months later: finish work finally moves downstairs. Ceiling is complete, all doors have been hung, and the baseboard is nearly complete. Still to come: door trim, finished stairs, and a bit of paint.

Downstairs complete when the carpet is installed.

It took a year to figure out what to do with "that pole". Now it's custom totem pole carved by (now defunct) totempoles.net.

Bedrooms

Bedroom 3 - painted.

Bedroom 4 (labeled Bedroom 2 on the plans)

Trimmed-out windows

Doors after staining.

Carpet makes the bedrooms nearly complete.

White plank ceiling and trim in bedrooms.

Bathroom

Tile in the downstairs bathroom was laid on the diagonal to mask the fact that the walls are not parallel (by design).
