Monday Catchup

There's the Kitchen "before" view on the left, taken on June 4, and the current view is below, taken from about the same location. Not much different, are they? Maybe when all the finishes are in you'll notice it more. I ordered the wall tile the other day for the backsplash - it arrives maybe October 29, just before we start moving in. Down to the wire, baby.

Notice something else? There's built in lighting again for the first time, too! Dishwasher still needs to go in, the doors on the sink front won't go in until the sink goes in, which can't go in until the plastic laminate arrives, knee bone connected to the hip bone, etc. The trim in the picture isn't blue by the way - just a peculiarity of the lighting.

Steve's preparing to put down the flooring in the utility room too; here's a shot of the Central Plant in the cleanest condition it's ever been. Washing machine and dryer are moved temporarily out into the media room. And dig the light fixture in there too! You can tell, I've been busy, and Darren helped almost all day Saturday. Hence all the progress.

Kian's man-cave has its own light for the first time also. If you look carefully at the bottom right of the photo, you can see a little sliver of the new bamboo flooring that Pete will start installing sometime tomorrow he tells me. Still kinda looka like a basement; we'll have to get some nice interior design work and foraging sessions to finish out all warm and cozy like.


Lastly, the much ballyhooed and long awaited pull-out pantry has been partially installed today

Here it is with three of the four pull out shelves in the partially pulled-out position. Seems like a lot of shelves, for some short things I guess. We'll have to probably reconfigure it a time or two before we can consider it optimal.

So as you can see, there's been much progress, which is really one of the big reasons I haven't been able to update this blog for a while. (Not to mention the haiku blog, which takes time too.)
