It’s been fun seeing all of the interior details coming together. Murphy & Co’s design and Hendel Home’s team of really talented and skilled folks putting it all together is producing some great results!

I found Reed in a dark room with a single light so that he could more easily see imperfections that need attention.

Landon had to make the holes for the downlights over the kitchen island a bit larger. Since the pilot bit for a hole saw was useless for this he had to make a jig to guide it. The saw still bites though so this is a tough job.B1200Details 103

We are fortunate to be getting a painting (or two!) from the very talented southern Mississippi artist Ali Stayer (@alistayerart) for our dining room. Here the bosses and Bob are discussing what size it should be.B1200Details 104

The bosses discussing floor tile options for the guest bath that came out pinker then expected. They decided that it was worth trying some different grout options to see if the color could be muted a bit rather than rip up all of the tile that’s already in.

A bit of frost on the strike plate and contact plunger. We have a contact plunger like this on all of the exterior door locks so that we can quickly see what doors are locked.
