Another kitchen view

The Fridge will go where the smooth, finished spot is. The Dishwasher goes to the left, roughly where the bucket with the green lid is.

Nick (our Contractor) gets the backer board ready

The backsplash tile will go on the backer board, above the new counter.

living room with almost all the molding

With just one section of crown molding to go, it's getting close.

The living room near the end

The floor is all down, the molding is about 90% done......the end is in sight

Flooring close to midpoint















Meanwhile, the floor work continues.

From the Sears and Roebucks catalog

The garage still has some room left !

And the trucks keep rolling in......


Todays deliveries were the patio/deck door and the appliances.

The assembly line

The front yard is the staging area for the white trim and the floor-plank cutting. Ah, to get back in my recliner in the living room with my pups at my feet....soon I hope !

Garage full of cabinets

The cabinets arrived today and took a BIG chunk of garage space. Tomorrow the appliances arrive along with the Pella door for the deck. I hope there's room for it all.

The first plank is DOWN !

The floor begins !

What you see here is, the felt is on the floor, the chalk lines are down and the first plank is at the front door. The guy is our Contractor, Nick standing beside Sue.

Kitchen wiring rough-in

Here you can see the start of the wiring job. They'll be three pendant lights hanging over the sink area.
The fridge goes on the far right , where the oven used to be (that wall is now open), the new dishwasher next to it and the stove-overhead microwave will be where you see the visible insulation (silver) is.

I forgot...this is the new roof (grey VS red)


New color and new floor test section


Living room after....before new paint and floor


The living room before


The kitchen after


The kitchen before.....


The carnage begins...............
