Pete on the other hand, didn't partake in the painting fun. Instead, he started on the kitchen cabinets, assembling the two tall units for the wall oven and the pull-out pantry. Funny thing - now that we're getting into the kitchen layout, we discovered two electrical booboos. I spank myself for not catching these earlier- they're both items that I assumed Sparky had figured out and I didn't bother to check them. First, the wall-oven and the pantry had to change places because the power for the oven was located too far to the left. Second, I just noticed the dishwasher outlet is way out of place about three feet to the right behind the sink cabinet. Like I said; shame on me for not catching it sooner, but oh well. 



Did I tell you I gave up a golf trip so I could work on the house this weekend?
It was the annual Single Malt Golf Tour, the 13th edition. (Check out my boss, exercising the time honored tradition of savoring every drop of single malt.) This year it was the Bend, Oregon area. We were there three years ago on a fabulous trip, and the spectacularly beautiful Aspen Lakes course was included in this year's trip too. This last photo is from this morning, sent by Andrew from Lost Tracks. Looks like another great trip.

So instead of golf, I used the money that would have paid for the golf on the cork flooring, and almost finished painting the basement. Only three weekends to go, and less than four weeks! The countdown begins. And by the way - it looks like Saturday, November 15, will be the Open House. (It's also H's birthday, but she didn't want to include that in the announcement.) So save the date; we'll have it catered by The Brazilians possibly!!! Ciao.
