Cedar Siding Finished

The cedar siding was completed today and the flashing on top of the cedar was almost completed. The Hardi siding is going up, its about 20% done. Inside, the furnace and hot water heater are in and we have water and a sewer connection. All sink faucets are in and working. The plumber has about two more days of work and he'll be done. The electrician has been installing outlets and switches. I finished the cabinet toe-kicks yesterday and made a lot of progress on the drawer pulls today. Noah and Les stopped by with out current neighbors the Sudworths today. It was a nice break for me from the work. Its been a lot, but I am enjoying it. I feel priviledged and blessed to be able to do it.

Kitchen Cabs Part 3, Countertops, and Cedar Siding

Saturday Morning, Noah and I stopped by the "new house" to check on things. We had said goodbye to Grandpa Bob on Thursday morning after 16 days straight of hard work. He is the man and a very talented one at that. We were able to mostly finish up the cabinets as can be seen and we set the footings, beams, and joists for the back deck. The wood floors were stained on Wednesday and it took to Saturday for them to dry. We went with an ebony stain - it looks darker in pictures than it actually is.

Noah loves his new tool - the level.

Noah enjoys his new race track.

The granite countertops were installed this past Saturday. Its called Kashmir White and we couldn't be happier with the selection.

The cedar siding started to go up on Friday and should be done some time this week. It wraps around the side of the house to the back and is looking pretty sharp.
