1st day of cabinet hanging

So we went back this evening....like we do almost every evening. We are so ready to drive up there and just STAY! Here are a few more pics of the kitchen with a lot of the cabinets done. This part is so exciting.

Cabinets are here!!!

Sorry gang -- I'll post more pics later. Hudson was having a fit - so I ran in and just snapped one picture. Now it's starting to feel livable! :)

Wood Floor is IN!!

Wednesday we began laying the wood floor! The wood choice is 4" Brazilian Cherry. With the MUCH appreciated help of our cousin Jerry, his friend Bill, and Uncle Nate the install took us until Thursday night LATE. Friday we were able to sand and put a sealer coat on it. Saturday we will buff and seal one more time, then we are done for a while. Once the rest of the project is over, Jerry will come back to buff it and apply the final finish coat.


The ladies brought pork chops up to the house for supper the night we finished the install. What a nice treat. It was hard to restart the engines after that - sitting down sure felt good.

Getting the siding rolling

There have been some requests for updated pictures of the house. Leann snapped this photo on her phone yesterday, but we will get some more and better pictures up here soon. This one shows the mix of siding and fake shakes. You can also see the"gray areas" that look like a wainscoating on the front of the garage. This is the area that is prepped for the stone work. Tomorrow we start laying the wood floor!!!!

The dry wall finishers are still hard at work - should be done tomorrow and ready for the painter! The deck/screened porch is going up today and it looks great.
