Week 11

Boy how time flies! Another week has come and gone and the next is underway. Last week saw good progress again. We started Monday with finalizing our kitchen plan, which meant working out the last details of the cabinet layout, choosing our counter top and also the pulls. It feels good to be able to put that aside for now.

Tuesday, our hot tub was delivered, but because we are not quite ready for the install yet, it is parking on the dike for now. Wonder if we could fill it and warm it somehow??? It sure would be nice to relax in it after some of our long days. Guess we could go sit in it as it is, but it wouldn't be quite the same..........guess we will just have to wait.

Inside the house, the insulation was finished and drywall put up. It feels quite different inside now with all the rooms taking on their final shape. Now we can really start to see how it will all look. So far we are not making any changes, at least not major ones, though we had to move some plugins in the kitchen after finalizing our cabinet plan. I am just glad we caught it before all the drywall was up, or before the cabinets came. Our electrician responded quickly to our emergency call and all was soon taken care of. The above photo shows part of the dining room, part of the kitchen, and the hallway leading to the bedroom.

Looking out from my pantry area in the kitchen to the dining and living rooms.

The east wall of the living room, the stair well and hall closet. Now it is time for me to decide what colors I want to paint. I have ideas but not sure how to put it all together. We also make a trip in to Wpg on Saturday night because we realized that the plumber was coming Monday to do the shower plumbing and we didn't have the taps yet. So, good progress, some decisions made again, but many more still to come......and the winter wheat is almost ready to harvest!
