December 17, 2010: Light Fixtures

Eric alternated today between the pantry...


...and working with Bobby to relaminate the island fixture.



Colin and Bobo installed light fixtures in the master bathroom and the kitchen.

November 11, 2010: Lots Going On!

Today's a federal holiday, and our house is more full of construction workers than we've seen for a while!

David the tiler got hired for a union job, so Bradley and his son Braeden came to finish grouting the master bathroom.



Mark mudded the rest of the drywall entry between the houses.


Darrin and Roger worked on finished the exterior trim.



Eric and Bobby installed the blowers and the stainless steel cover for the range hood.


Oh, and by the way, Bennett took many of the photos today (including this work of art!) while I was out all day with various girlfriends celebrating my birthday!

Bobo worked on some of the electric stuff on the island and worked with Eric to install the pantry and hall lighting.


So, lots of things getting done in and on the house today! Flooring, floorboards, appliances... we finally see the end in sight!


Randomness...

The screen in the guest room that we use at night to block out the street light that shines into the room...


The dog who is slowly getting used to his new routine, with his "brother"...


And Jody came by to visit and check out the progress...

Looking forward to when John visits as well... once he's done with his Mideast tour.

November 3, 2010: Stove Hood Installation

The kitchen tile is finished except for the sealing, which Bennett will do tomorrow.


Eric and Bobby began installing the stove hood, starting off with my favorite tool--the laser level! The white stuff on the chimney is caulking to seal it.


The sheet metal to conceal the chimney will be put on Saturday.

Eric also began installing the shelves into the spare bedroom closet, using HIS new favorite tool--the puka making jig!


We're beginning to see the end... it's even fun relaxing on the lanai!
