Interior Progress Still Going Strong

With summer almost over the interior has transformed into a variety of small projects going on daily. I installed the kitchen floor yesterday and grouted it today. I installed the porch light today as well. Patti painted the downstairs bathroom this past weekend a light blue. I installed the fans/lights in both bathrooms and will be installing the other lights this week over the vanity. As soon as I get the lights for each room they will be installed. Last Thursday our fireplace was installed. The stone work will come later this fall. I also installed the window seat in the kitchen. It will be padded later and the front trim will go on when I complete that. Some more trim work was completed in both bathrooms. The propane gas company will come next week to install the gas for the fireplace and stove. Macintyre will come soon the hook up the rest of the plumbing for the sinks and showers. They also will get the hot water hooked up which means we will need some fuel oil for the house. At the present time oil prices have fallen, but at this point I'm hoping the price will stabilize. The extra insulation and the new modern efficient furnace should cut down on the cost of heating. I hope!!!! I still have some ceilings to complete downstairs and upstairs. This is going to take some extra time to reach the high areas. I have to order some more T & G wood for that project.

The Progress Continues

The last couple of days we have completed many items on the list. Last week we put up some more tongue & groove boards in the kitchen and painted the upstairs bathroom. The downstairs bathroom has been taped with three coats of mud. The floor has also been put in and grouted. With a little sanding and a primer we should be ready for the paint downstairs. Patti and I installed the upper cabinets in the kitchen yesterday. Today we had a special helper. Joey came over today and helped put up the knee wall for the sink cabinet as well as some boards in the kitchen. We had to fabricate the wall with the cabinet in place because of the angle it is. We will have a back splash and shelf on this wall. Now that the wall is in the sheet rock can be done and the floor can be put in. The color of the floor still has to be decided. Work will continue in the kitchen and bathroom so the these rooms can be used.
