We put down sod and are desperately trying to keep it alive in the second driest summer on record.

The master bath is the best room in the house, and I’ve already taken baths. Wonderful! I’m not sure if we’ll ever get rid of all the boxes… but the kitchen looks pretty good too. The boys did a great job on the pergo.

the baseboards and crown look really good if I say so myself…

the kitchen cabinets are darker than I’d intended (originally I wanted white but K wanted stained!) but they’re growing on me. They do look better without plastic on them…

it was crazy to see the painters spray everything, including the stain on the cabinets. it’s quite an efficient way to paint though…

the window in the master looks nice with the white trim. but the ladders don’t add much to the look…

we’ve got cabinets and doors- oh my!!

painters and trim guys are lined up and we’re trying to get countertops ordered…..

master’s looking good! I hate to ask… who’s gonna trim?

insulation sure is time consuming to install… and fiberglass in the eye is not a pleasant thing.

we’ve got rocks on the front windows and the front porch columns. They look kinda like brick to me, not quite as rugged looking as I expected, but I think they still look good.

we’re wired!

well the electricians and plumbers have been busy, as has Kayvon :)

We have a new covered walkway from the back door (outside the mud room) to the garage, which looks great!

The kids are having big fun working on the house every weekend.

We have LOTS of wires and a couple of boxes to hold them all. The rock guys were supposed to come today to install the rocks around the triangle windows in the front, as well as around the base of the front porch columns. But it’s cold and raining so I kinda doubt they’re working today. Maybe tomorrow…

come on in! front door
