The plastic laminate is on the countertop and the drop-in sink and cooktop are - uh - dropped in. I need to get a better camera this weekend and take some decent shots that actually show something more than impressionist images, huh?That's the diswasher on the left side there, Ray wasn't able to get anything done in the kitchen yet, just the main bathroom toilet, the sink is hung but not plumbed, and the shower fittings are started.
The pair of light fixtures in the bathroom are from Tech Lighting; they are the most solidly built well designed light fixtures I've ever installed. Lots of room for wiring, lots of screw holes for varied boxes, and solid metal componentry. They were pretty pricey though. The diffusers still aren't on there, but I'll do that this weekend.
Steve did siding on the rest of the bedroom wall today too, so he's working his way around. What's kind of funny is that when he started, the way he talked I thought he'd be done with siding in a couple of days. It's been weeks. There's always been something else to do, like the tile in the utility room, or the countertop, or the grouting.Tomorrow, Tom the Flooring Guy shows up to put the final two coats of stinky smelly Swedish Finish on the oak on the main floor. It's really going to be smelly.
We won't be ready to move in much this weekend, but we'll be able to get a start. Good thing we have the house until November 15. That wasn't how we originally planned it - tried to get a half month rent back but landlord wouldn't let us - now it's a good thing we get to stay that long!
Should be some impressive looking floors in the pictures tomorrow.
Ciao for now!
