December 15, 2010: Vince Visits

Eric helped Tony install the drains under the bathroom vanities. Because of the way they were made, Eric had to do some reinforcing and some creative design. Beautiful work.


Tony also installed the drains in the kitchen.


Fun with faucets...



The painters did some more painting...


Aaaannnnddd... Vince FINALLY paid us a visit!

I think he enjoyed himself!

December 11, 2010: Wally Finally Sees the House

December 4, 2010: Prep for Painting the Outside

Not much pictures today, but Calvin's guys were over taping up windows and covering the deck in preparation to paint on Monday. As well, Eric was working on more details around the house.


Heidi came by with Kiha so that she could FINALLY see the appliances purchased from John Cook Kitchens in place in our house. We are both looking forward to entertaining in the house once it's finished!

November 26, 2010: Special Visitors

No work for one more day, but we had special visitors!

Mizue came by to see who is competing with Eric for his affections! NOW she understands.



And Sharon came by on an errand and ended up with a tour!

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 4, 2010: Mirror, Mirror

Eric worked on the closet shelving so that we can move into the guest room this weekend... the hole is going into the wall on Monday!


The Aloha State Sales estimator came by to take the measurements for the kitchen cabinets. And, no, to my shame I didn't get his name. He was leaving when I arrived :(. I was thankful to get his photo!


UPS Freight dropped off the mirror for the master bathroom. I wasn't here for that either! However, I CAN say that I was in one of my favorite places: Beckie's house, studying the book of Esther! Trade-offs...

I think we may sand the mirror so that it closer matches the vanity... sort of a whitewashed wood look.

We had a visitor this afternoon: Kiha! Stopped by between Palolo appointments.
