It's getting closer

Below you will notice the address post. Looks like an old airplane wing (ahh.. the mystery) and looks really neat if I do say so myself. I tells the neighborhood that we are very close to finished. A couple more walls to paint and a porch to build and the furniture is in a trailer out behind the bunker ready to put in.
Barbara painted the front door RED, looks good though and is another of the hints that we are about finished. We will have to plan a house warming. Want to come?

Finished

The tile is grouted and the wall is tiled. The cabinets have yet to be painted but that will occur when the rest of the painting is done in the living room. The ceiling will go in at the same time and perhaps the carpet too. Whew, that will be a busy weekend.

Stairs

The mysterious pole on the side of the bunker began to reveal its' function this trip. The steps that have been laying off in the weeds were carried to the roof and lowered down the pole and now await the platform landing to the roof and careful spacing down the pole. Perhaps not the next trip, but soon.

More finishing touches

We went out to the bunker this weekend. It was one of those "tidy up" type trips that have to happen now and then. We have begun buying furniture and we are up to our ears with stuff here in Austin.
I have three trailers and all of them are at the bunker. We decided that we would bring one home and load it with couches and chairs and stuff. First we had to transfer tools and materials to the other trailer and then load up trash and anything that could come back to Austin. That done we did a few things like putting the steps on the spiral stairs and grouting the kitchen counter top. I also tiled the walls in the kitchen.
We brought the trailer home and I spent all day monday taking trash around to all my favorite dumpsters. I'll start loading tomorrow and be ready for the return trip in a week or so. Once there we can leave it in the trailer for a while untill we need it.
