Ovens and cooktop are in

Back splash is going up by china cabinet and the hardwood is installed and ready to finish.

Even more changes today

Today the dishwasher and faucets were installed along with about 1/3 of the hardwood floors.

When we first started working with Dwight to design the kitchen he suggested a back splash that would"pop" when you see it. Today when I walked in from work and saw the newly installed back splash it sure "popped" for me.It really looks great and after grouting tomorrow it should be awesome ! Great choice Roo

Tomorrow should bring installation of the rest of the appliances and hardwood.

Granite is here !

I came home from a project at the lake and was surprised to see the granite countertop was installed a week early! It looks great. Its a darker color and the natural silvers embedded really stand out when the light hits them .I call them silver but im sure all the "women" will correct me if I say it in from of them.

Hardwood floors and tile

Lots happened today.The tile floor was grouted and Payton's Hardwood Floors delivered the wood and began the installation in the master bedroom.The balance is stacked in the living room and waiting to go in next week.

Hardwood floorS are next.

The hardwood floor guy is coming tomorrow to install flooring in the new addition and in our bedroom which had carpet,until today. I received one of those typical remodeling phone calls from Dwight last week to inform me that the hardwood floors we had in the living room and hallway in fact were not true hardwood but  hardwood veneer which in 14 years of living here we never knew. Because of this, it couldn't be refinished so it had to come up and new real hardwood needed to be installed in order for it to match the stuff going in the addition. The demo guys did a great job taking it up and saved most of it for me. What am I going to do with it? To the lake of course,along with the carpet out of the bedroom.

The pics are of the living room and bedroom with no flooring.

Finally after years of hearing the floor squeak at the foot of our bed its going to get silenced ! Hurray !

Exterior is wrapping up

The soffit and gutters are complete and the vinyl underneath the addition is in.Our plans are to put a ceiling fan under there ,tile the floor and make it our covered patio to watch the pool activity from. Touch up painting is left to do then the deck will be the finale.

Tile and cabinet crown are both installed

The most recent changes are the addition of the cabinet crown molding and kitchen tile.The tile looks great on the floor .Grouting will come Friday.The cabinet molding is up and is really a nice touch.
