Move-in draws near

Over the weekend the woodstove went in, the A/C was completed, the exterior painting was finished. The front door is in and the fridge was delivered, though not installed yet.


Bryan's favorite - the cooktop and vent hood - are installed. You can see the countertop that was also installed on Saturday.


Still to do is staining the cabinets, finish up tiling and baseboards.

Home stretch

We've had one toilet for almost a week. A second one is now in. We have one functional sink. (I wish the plumber would stick with it longer when he comes out but he does a little and leaves.)



The first laminate floor is in. Why laminate instead of wood? Bo. Laminate will take abuse that wood will not.



The oven is in and functional. We heated a frozen dinner the other night.



I bit the bullet and hired a painter to finish the outside. He's making great progress and it's a load off us.

More staining in my future

The cabinets are in. The doors will be here in 2 weeks. I have a ton more staining to do. The kitchen has filled up.




The tiling is almost complete. Now we tile the kitchen and utility room.
