October 6th
Well…It was a busy week…Leroy and an assortment of helpers (some of whom I liked better than others) were here working until Friday about 4:30pm. They totally finished the kitchen and so I can really start to unpack now. Troy and I worked this morning (and Troy continued while I went to Jackie’s soccer game) to get the ventilation installed for over the range. Leroy has to come back in a week or two once we have the rest of the flooring installed and he will put the trim up then that is all done. We are missing one door and one drawer in the island that are being replaced, as well as the panel for the front of the dishwasher… but other than that the kitchen is done…oh yeah…Leroy has to assemble the pop up mixer stand and we have to install the warming drawer…but really…other than that the kicthen is done now. We got the second fridge in today…so that is nice…Thanks to Peter and Steve for coming over on short notice to help with that.
So here are some pictures of the kitchen…please ignore all the clutter…I am working on getting everything put away…
We got the hardwood in the girl’s dormers so that Leroy and gang could do the trim in there. The girls have been living in crazy cramped quarters for a long time now and it has become a priority to get them their rooms back. SO we had Leroy do the trim in the girl’s rooms before the main floor base trim…Ahhh…the sarifices parents make for their children! Unfortunately we were short a piece of the window liner to do both rooms, so Jackie’s room does not have the window trim, but that will not stop us from putting the room together and Leroy will do that window when he comes back.
I would also like to show you my new "favourite" thingThe trim that I picked for over the doors and windows on the main floor…it is called architrave…and I am happy I went this direction…It is a nice touch and kind of decorative without being too ornate…
I have the doors all painted on the main floor, and all the hardware swapped out to satin nickel also…See I have been a busy girl…
Also…I wanted to show you the colour I painted the sunroom…which I have now officially changed the name of to the "coffee room" for a couple of reason…First I plan to drink a lot of coffee in there and secondly…it is the colour of coffee (not black coffee–but coffee with milk like I drink it)
So that is basically it…We are getting carpet on Tuesday (assuming the carpet arrives–which I have not heard that it has yet) and then Leroy comes back when we give him the call that we are done with the hardwood and the tiling…so that is all about me I guess. I also have to do the backspash before we can get the rest of the electrical to go live in the kitchen as Neils needs to set the outlet boxes after he knows the depth with the tile on…
