The flooring has taken about 30 man hours to do so far, and we're about 3 hours from being done. We used reused flooring, so it was slightly harder than using new flooring. We have laid approximately 500 sq ft.
I've been doing this with my father, who has been cutting the wood pieces to length. Meanwhile, I've been installing the pieces.
Deb has been doing the tiling. She says that the process so far has taken about 24 hours. But, as you can see, she's included a lot of artistic flare, using many smaller tiles, which takes much longer than a conventional tile job.

Flooring and Tiling
This is an update on the ADU progress.
First, I shot a quick video of the new electric service being added. The ADU will be separately metered, which is apparently a new City of Portland regulation. Bummer, since it cost me $2,000. But, by adding new service, there is ample power for both units and both units will not experience power outages as frequently.
But, mostly, we've been flooring, tiling, and siding. These three processes are time intensive, but the products are all beautiful in their own right.
