Trimming it out

So much for keeping this up to date.....I have been traveling and Mike has been working his tail off. While I 've been gone- the kitchen cabinets came in, thirteen doors arrived and the furniture is ready. Of course Mike had to go pick up everything himself, get it off the trailer and up the stairs. We had picked up all of the appliances before I left for Boston and they are all in the garage.

I don't have any updated pictures but so far Mike has laid all of the stone flooring and trimmed out the windows and doors. What a job! He is really glad to be done with that part of the interior work as it was all sore knees and rough hands work.

Mike has been busy this week getting the base cabinets attached to the walls, upper cabinet hung and lining it all up. By the time I get home- the kitchen will be ready for countertops.....I'm feeling a bit guilty with all the work he is doing without me around. But with me gone.....I am not around to complicate decisions and projects. He can do his own thing and get alot done when I'm not around!

We are moved!!!

The painting is done and it looks great! All corners are touched up and finished. One final nap before we started on the clean up the rest of the flooring. Lily and I got a few quick winks on a sunny afternoon.

We moved last weekend October 6/7th! The laundry room, bathroom and bedroom are 90% complete. Just the baseboard trim has to be finished. Mike has been busy getting the kitchen and great room floor tiles laid. This is quite a large job. With the help of Arlene mixing mud and cleaning up- he has made some fast progress. Since I have been traveling- I can't be there to assist until the weekends. We have hung all the closet shelves but all the doors are on order, so it will be awhile before the closets have doors.

The office and safes have been moved into place. Thank goodness for neighbors with forklifts! That tool made it easier to move the big stuff.

The office is moved and organized with a view outside.
