Past Two Weeks

April 17, 2007

We finished putting up all the blinds in the guest bedroom! So our guest can actually have some privacy…

…well, except for the glass door to the living room…

…which we finally hung back up! Not finished like we hoped – one step at a time, I guess.

And cleaning it up a little for our guests that will soon be here.

The 60-Day Curse?

We heard a sudden noise. It turns out the noise was the range hood vent falling down!! The screws were ripped right out from the cabinet on the left side.

Because we were afraid the right side would not hold much longer we found a temporary solution to prop up the vent hood until the contractors were able to come by the next day.

And then we also noticed the base cap molding coming off by the butler’s pantry. What is this? The 60-day curse?

After a crazy/busy weekend we decided to tackle some more paint scraping and got busy with a butler’s pantry drawer and door today.

More Progress

February 13, 2007

Our new guest bed arrived!

Gus and Jim came back to work on a few things…

…building shelves for the medicine cabinet.

…tearing out part of the bath built-in to access the plumber’s screw-up and pulling back the faucets so that they don’t stick out.

…making the bathroom window even (one part was higher than the other due to the Durock).

…building shelves for the kitchen built-in.

Meanwhile, later on that night…

…we were busy priming the kitchen built-in.

What do you do on a Tuesday night? Personally I like to crawl around on the kitchen floor, showing off my plumber’s crack, and getting into those deep kitchen built-in corners with some paint! :)

During the counter top installation we came across a problem where our 33″ sink was slightly too big for our 33″ base cabinet. We had Gus cut into our new cabinet so that our under mount sink could fit in. (See how it is sitting on top in the picture.)

Our beautiful new granite countertops! They will have to come back for one backsplash that was cut wrong.

The tile work is coming along nicely, as appeared to be the window molding. Unfortunately upon closer inspection it was installed sideways due to the Durock being higher than the drywall – a concern we had raised to our contractor before it was built, yet it still got messed up.
