All Done

Finally--an update!

I know, I know...."What took you so long?" Construction has been slow going and not too interesting, but things are really coming together now.

Above: Countertops were installed 6/1/07 (our 10th anniversary!)

Countertop close-up.

Backsplash was installed today, but still needs to be grouted.

Big tease! Appliaces arrived 6/1/07, but are waiting to be installed.

Lastly, the beadboard was put up last week and the downstairs bath got the tile floor completed. These shots don't show it grouted, so I'll have to get a shot of that later.

Wood Floors!

Cabinets....

When the kids and I got back from Missouri, we found the cabinet installation almost complete and some of the interior doors are installed! Below is what you would see if you walked in the front door.

This is the view of the kitchen from the corner of the dining room.

Remember what it used to look like? I can't give you the same angle since there USED to be a wall between the two rooms!

FEAST or Famine...

On Monday, May 14th, just when I thought no workers were coming, the shower stall showed up--finally. THEN, the kitchen cabinets arrived a week early and a few hours later...the hard wood flooring arrived!

Below is the base for the shower installed after the concrete was poured on Tuesday.

And.....the Kitchen cabinets are being installed this week!

I LOVE my new Pantry!

Thanks for checking in!

We're PLASTERED!!

This past week, the wallboard went up and the platerering was completed (with the exception of the kitchen and dining room ceilings that were mistakenly textured. These will be smoothed out either May 14th or 15th).

Here is the view from the entryway looking up to the kitchen.

Below is the plastered kitchen.

This view below shows the finished bathroom walls as viewed from the office/guest room.

May 5th (Week 6 completed)

Inspections, Inspections!

This week the electric, plumbing and framing inspections were completed. Monday the insulation should be inspected

and then...drum roll please.....the plastering may begin! We are still waiting on the shower stall which was due Wed, Thurs or Fri of last week. Hmm...But we have the rest of the plumbing fixtures just waiting to go in!

We also had the sub floor completed, temporary wall was taken down and new windows went into the kitchen and bath.

Above is the view downstairs without the temporary wall or POLE!! This is where we do all our "cooking" (thanks to the micro, toaster oven and G5!!) and eating.

Thanks for checking in!
