Taking a break...

Shane, our new carpenter, has got just about all the trim & moulding put up. Leaving me the very boring job of filling nail holes, caulking the spaces between trim & drywall.
3:15pm. It's raining!!!!!! :-) can uncross fingers & toes. LOL!!!!
I don't have an umbrella down here.
The photo is looking NW across the lake from our back porch. :-) We are getting closer to the end of our very long tunnel!!! Oh! Wait!!! There is a light down there!!!! LOL!!!!!

A few dark clouds...

Could we have some rain, please????

Another step closer!!!

I thought it would be next week before Brian could get here to finish the cabinets, but here he is!!! The doors are making it look so much more like a house!!! I don't have the textured glass in the doors, yet. Maybe next week. And I still have lots of construction stuff in the cabinets & on countertops. As soon as I get all the touch up painting done, I'll start cleaning everything out. Will take photos before we start moving in. :-) I can hardly wait!!!

We have water!!!!

It's not completely working, but the most important part of our water system is!!!!
Had a leak outside, but David fixed it. :-) He is so handy to have around the house.
I'm not cleaning anything until Shane has finished building the Murphy Bed closet. And the HWH closet. Oh! There's the washer & dryer to install and hook up... The range... The dishwasher... The vent over the range... Anything else? Not that I can think of at this moment.
Oh! Brian is coming next week to finish the cabinets! UPS delivered my Lazy Susans. They fit. They look GREAT!!! Now, what do I do with the other sets that didn't fit??? Anyone need Lazy Susan's??? Just let me know. PLEASE!!!! :-)

Drum roll, please....

After much mumbling and sweating, the sink is in! But, when buying all the drain pieces, we forgot that this sink has two drains. :-) It's those little details that can drive you crazy.
But I do love the sink. It's a Kohler Langlade Smart Divide. The middle divide is a couple inches below the rim, while the whole sink is 9" deep. I really wanted a single bowl sink, but at the time, the only one available was a black soapstone that I didn't like. The faucet is Moen Aberdeen Brushed Stainless.
Now, I need to call Terry to get a date for him to do the backsplash.

Kitchen sink...

It's been a long time getting to this point. But, today is the day!!!
LOL!!! It's the small things that can make a person smile. :-)

Corner Cabinet.

I've got primer on it. :-) I love it!!! Now, to get it sanded and painted.
I couldn't resist. I had to see it with things in it. Of course, the doors will be attached later.
Alright. Here is the cabinet and my grandmother. :-) That seems odd calling her "grandmother". She was "Granny". It took a few minutes to find that picture. It is a Polaroid of her 90th birthday.
Granny was born about 1880 and died January 1972. She and Granddaddy had 12 children. Two died as babies. One daughter died of Thyproid Fever at age 19. There were five handsome brothers and four sisters. Ah. Let's just say they were my aunts and there is a strong family resemblance among a lot of us. LOL!!!
I have lots of wonderful memories of their house on Jefferson Avenue. I hope that when our house is finished and my relatives come to visit, they will see familiar things here.
