Week 17

It is getting closer! Every week we can see us getting closer to move in and yet there are so many little things that need to happen before that. This week some of those things got done.

Last week we made a Grand Forks run and got a half ton load of things for the house. One of them was a door for the entry from the garage to the house. Top picture on the right shows the door installed. We also bought things like sinks, taps, door knobs, etc, etc. Cal and crew finished up a bunch of things before moving on to another job this week. Top left shows the window wells we had made by a local fellow, and they got installed this week. Bottom right shows the screen door for our screen porch. Think that is enough to keep the bugs out? Bottom left shows the step onto the front porch, and they also covered the posts with Hardie siding and now I need to paint it.

Inside the house again, the cabinets arrived and installation got underway. I am really excited to see the kitchen take shape, and am waiting for the day when I can start cooking and baking in a full sized kitchen again, and this one will be full sized.

I won't show you too many views, I will wait till the counter tops, and appliances are in. Check back next week.

In the basement, the drywall is done and ready for taping and mudding, and there was also some pine wainscotting put up in the big room. The hardwood flooring is almost done, and some of the trim is on on the doors and windows. Things are moving along, soon we will have to start shopping for things to fill the house.
