There's a lot going on at the house, but it seems like very slow progress. Maybe that's because we're anxious to get moved in before we leave for the Middle East the first of April!
Over the weekend, Collin & Jordan helped us do some painting in the mechanical room in the basement. They loved it, and they did a great job!


They're still working on the kitchen cabinets. We had a complication last week that will set us back a little since we had to order some replacement parts.

Laundry room cabinets are almost complete. There will be a utility sink in the base cabinet.

Carpet has been installed in the loft:

Looking down the stairs from the loft. Treads have been stained--still a lot to do.

We're using wood from a 100 year old barn on the walls beside the fireplace. Ron & Larry have been cleaning and planing the wood. You can see the first board mounted next to the fireplace:

The mason has been working on the stone wall extending from the ground floor patio to the driveway, and the stonework covering the poured wall on the side of the house and on the entry side. The bare concrete wall you see will also be covered with stone.



They are framing up the driveway and walkways to the entry porch and the screened porch, and hope to be able to pour cement later this week.
