Prater Progress!!
What a difference paint makes! Chris is done ( almost) with the painting inside, outside was painted handily by Crabtree Painting! Chris and Dennis got all the new retrofit windows in, new front door and they make the home seem so light and bright. I’m really getting excited about this home, we are taking a ho-hum home in a great location and finishing it up in a modern and welcoming way.
Next up, the countertops, appliances, tile in the master bath and then carpet. Should be ready within the next month to unveil to everyone else- CAN’T WAIT!
New Prater Project! Chico CA
I haven’t posted in tooo long but wanted to update with our newest Prater Project at 14 Vermillion Circle in Chico CA! Its not our typical style of home but there was great potential so we bought this home to fix up and either sell or rent last Sept. The only thing I didn’t document was that we’ve already had the landscaping redone, Chris built a 137′ long fence across the back and lots of painting.
Check out this, great open floor plan, the beginnings of several great ideas and its up to us to figure out how to finish them all!
I’ll post more often and keep you up to date on progress but its the best idea for this Webb Built tired old floor plan I’ve seen, wish I would’ve thought of it!
We have CABINETS!
Chris and I ran up to Almanor Monday evening, via Feather River Canyon since Hwy 32 is closed for 10 days, to take up scaffolding for the ceiling work to begin and look what I got to see! Cabinets are beautiful, thanks OakRidge Cabinets from Chico!! Knotty Alder is the wood with a clear finish. Counter top fabricator is heading up this weekend to template them for our countertops to be installed within a few weeks!
Chris and Dennis, master carpenter, decided to case out all the windows in this cool molding that looks like cut logs so I included a picture of the dining room windows too.
Wow, now all we need is ELECTRICITY, NO THANKS for PGE for their time table of SLOOOOW!!! Our application was turned in OCT 2010@)!)!!!
Anyway, I won’t be up there for a few weeks, but the old cabin is being moved around the middle of Oct and the new cabin should be done by then- WOHOO!
Last Sunday we spent the afternoon getting all the light fixtures, AWESOME is all I can say, a barn/cabin/modern look is going to be GREAT!
More pics to follow after the ceiling is done, because then its time to stain again, our stain didn’t cover completely and the ceiling is going up NAKED, oh well. Painting party at the end of the month for all those wanting cabin time credit 
)
This is looking GOOOD!
Chris went up yesterday to meet the inspector for the insulation, its approved now and oversee any other “issues”.
Well after a slight mix up on the paint color the cabin is now the Forest Service model of perfection! And a dbl coat of paint, even if the 1st layer is torquoise green makes Daddy happy! Big changes are under foot on the interior as well, sheetrock started today!! The insulation was approved yesterday so they were going to start hanging it today, should be done by tomorrow, then taping and texture!! Then paint the interior- calling all weekend painters??!!
