Getting close: May 26, 2012

Our painters have been here for a couple of weeks now, have done most of the interiors, are now doing the outside.  We chose a color which is like a light cedar, the trim is white.  We do have the best Painters around!  They are here early each morning and usually are here til 6 or so.  We have begun to do the grading around the house, more work will be done this week.

The cabinets are partially installed. The rest of them should be in this week.

Measurements for the counter tops were taken, and forms have been made for the granite countertops.  We have chosen  a Sienna Bordeau granite.  Can't wait to see it installed next week.

This is the peninsula which will have a lower counter on the kitchen side for the vertically challenged .  The space in the middle will be the parking place for my wheeled step-stool.  The plastic curtain is put up by the painters to protect the house when they are painting.

This is a custom built cabinet for our TV and sound system.  There will be space for our Music Box collection too.

The painters have put on a primer, and use bondo to make sure all spots are smooth.

Next  coat has been applied.  The painters are careful to cover everything to protect the surfaces.

      We are ready for the floors to be done next week.  The granite countertops are due to be installed, painting completed.  The concrete floors in the lower level will be finished, plumbing and electric finishing work to be done, hopefully!  We have the window treatments and will have them installed when the floors are done.  The Refrigerator and dishwasher can be delivered then too.

        On the outside, we have developed our landscape plan, and will complete grading, get the irrigation system in working order,  add gutters and drains.
