Continuing progress

Guess it's about time to let you all know how things are progressing in the house. We have been working mostly in the basement the last while, although Kerry did some trim work upstairs last week. We have painted all of the rooms now, and there is plenty of color down there. Kerry putting color on the big room walls. Just this morning we put the second coat on the office walls, as well as the playroom, to finish up the paint work.

Kerry has also been doing lots of electrical work, getting the plugins wired and plates put on, as well as numerous light switches and lights. So far, the lights are temporary, but at least when we flip the switch, there is light.

The plumbers were in earlier this week, and we now have a working toilet in the basement bathroom. They also hooked up my dishwasher, and I am quite enjoying that too. We are on a deadline. We have kids and grandkids coming for Christmas in 4 weeks and so we have to get a bedroom and bathroom functional in the basement. This bathroom is almost ready to go. Needs a mirror, another door, and some baseboard and trim, the shower curtain and rod, and it's ready to go. Notice the ceiling? Kerry put in the suspended tile just last night, and did the storage room as well.

And we have had some doors installed down there as well. Now it's up to me to get them painted.

And so, life goes on. We are making progress and it feels good, and between work and shopping, and shopping, and shopping some more, we keep out of trouble.
