Porch Soffit






The porch soffit and gable we installed today. Siding is now complete. Our siding man Chuck was slow as molasses, but he did one hell of a job! We have gotten SO many compliments about the siding for walkers passing by. To out knowledge, he has not used any caulking yet. He thought through each and every piece before he put it in place. I wish everyone was this thorough!

Cabinets!










Cabinets unexpectedly arrived today. The tile guys much have grouted over the weekend so that the kitchen cabinets could go down. They got the base and wall cabinets in the kitchen hung today.

Wow! It changes the whole feel inside! I have to admit, I was checking them out from all angles.... What do they look like from the living room? Okay, how about when walking in from the carport? And standing at the counter, can I see the TV? So cool! It feels like its coming together...finally. :)

Tile















We have officially started the finishes. The tile guys started on Thursday and knocked out laying all of the tile except for the vestibule in 2 days. They have done an excellent job! They are not very happy with our pattern at the vestibule. Each piece is individually laid. Luckily the guys don't speak much English otherwise I think I would have gotten an earful from him on Friday!


Our ash wood flooring also came in. It is stocked inside the house and has to acclimate for 2 weeks before it can be laid.
