Projects, Week 7

Lots of progress on the kitchen this week. We’re getting so close that it’s hard to be patient. This week, we got electricity and lights, as well as final cabinet fixes, knobs and drawer pulls.

Then on Thursday I oiled the soapstone to bring it to a lovely black with green highlights.

The painters came today and while they didn’t finish, they did get the ceiling done and they worked on the outside.

The walls look finished, but the window definitely needs another coat. Next up: appliances and plumbing fixtures should be installed on Monday.

In the yards, there wasn’t a ton of progress. We got mulch in the front yard which really gives it a nice, finished look.

We’re only waiting for the palo verde tree now; everything else is done in the front yard. The back yard is close too — Laramee brought plants this week and once he and Bruce confer they will be planted and we’ll get our lawn.
