These are the significant events in the construction of the Double Luck Station during December 2000.

2 December, 2000

Insulation installed

Insulation is being installed by 31W Insulation (Katy, TX) in the attic and into all of the walls, as can be seen in this view of the bath room. We can also see that the shower stall has been moved from the porch and placed into its permanent location. We are scheduled to begin installing car siding onto the interior walls on Monday, 4 December.

6 December, 2000

Sheet rock installed

Compare this to the previous photo. The bath room now has sheet rock installed by Zeisert Drywall (Houston, TX), and green board is installed in the shower areas. In the main room, sheet rock has been hung on the ceiling. The walls will soon be covered with "car siding", wooden planks that used to be placed on the interior walls of railroad cars.

9 December, 2000

Rework complete

Remember that missing gable over the ticket window? The rework for the roof is complete and all of the Hardiplank siding has now been installed.

17 December, 2000

Car siding for interior walls

The interior walls of the Station are covered in car siding by Ceasar Gatica's Trim (Houston, TX). This material was formerly used in the construction of railroad cars, so it seems particularly appropriate for this building.

Septic system installed

The sewer lines from the Station have been run to the new septic system installed by Braden Septic Services (Hempstead, TX) and are ready to be connected.
