Project updates - here's what we've been up to!

Sidewalk went in this week - I love the way the sweeping curves break up the plethora of right angles on this house. For us and our guests, there is now plenty of space to walk up to the front door without tripping in the dirt! We plan to build a small retaining wall along the city sidewalk, and replant grass thru the rest of the yard. Under the laundry room window will be a large planting bed (any advice from landscaping enthusiasts?).

Today Steve hung blinds in Mercia's and Carter's rooms, after several rounds of blinds that didn't match or didn't fit. Slowly we are moving the kids in, and again trying to keep them to clean their rooms!


Steplights come on automatically when the sun sets.














This week we installed the tile backsplash, and today Tami hung the frame for the glass shower door in the kids bathroom. Next week the mirror goes in, then just a bit of touch up paint and towel bars.














Laundry laundry laundry, at least we can do it at home now! ;-) We're still undecided on our cabinet design, so that will come - in August I hope.











Tami stained the hand rail and trim work for the kitchen cabinets, Steve installed them today. Of course, there wasn't quite enough, so we'll have to stain some more... :-
