the state fair is over

it was a good fair this year. we made it out there probably 4-5 separate days. beatiful weather when grandma, ganka, jess, matt, reid, elliott, josh, and joni came to visit for the weekend. ben and claire took part in the twins contest - they didn't place this year, maybe next

tile goes in - money goes out

the tile installer was in the past couple weeks to install flooring in the kichen and baths. they didn't order enough for the tub surround in the master bath, though. estimated time of arrival - September 9. the air conditioner has finally been reinstalled, and was working well last night - it wasn't too warm outside (low 80s), but was very humid. triming around the new rough openings is complete. bathroom cabinets have been installed and kitchen cabinets should go in next week

a few finishing touches

I know it's early, but we are getting to a few of what I call the finishing touches. the tile layer is here installing floors and surrounds in the bathrooms and kitchen, and the floor grilles for the HVAC ducting came in. we have two of these 20"x30" units for the return ducts

cabinets

our cabinet maker has posted some pictures on his blog of our cabinets. he might try and post a few more as he progresses.

now for a little color

we got a little painting done on the house this weekend. really brightened it up and made it look one step closer to being finished. the tiler is coming this week to install the floors and surround in the kitchen and baths. bathroom cabinets the week after. and kitchen cabinets the week after that.
