Cabinets and Appliances!

On Friday, our cabinets and appliances were delivered! Kevin and his crew spent most of the day installing the cabinets.

There is still much to be done, but here's where it stands! What a beauty!

Finishing lights and fans...

Yesterday, Kevin and my dad put up two new ceiling fans and those things that go inside the can lights. Looking good!

Kevin's Bomb-Diggity Colors!

That's right... it's painted! Mario came over today with his crew (shhh, don't tell the bishop) and rocked the house! We went with a light brown called High Noon for the walls and then a special mix for lighter colored ceilings, and all the moulding is Bam-In-Your-Face white! We needed to get most of this painted before the cabinets come in (this week!), even though there is still more molding to be done in the bay window and when the doors come in (next week), so Mario will be back before too long! We are both very pleased with the results... wahoo! (again, try to ignore the dust spots...)

Moulding...

TONS of moulding! Yesterday was quite a busy one. We wouldn't have been able to get as much done as we did without all the help we received from Gary, Rich, and David (and Lyndio for bringing us dinner)! The house now has crown, base board, a shelf on the pot shelf, and a Kevin Halls customized wayne's coating with bead board, shadow boxes, and top/side cap trim. It was a lot of work, and of course, Kevin said he would do it differently if he did it again, but it looks great!

Good teamwork!

Has anyone seen the saw...? Nevermind.

Texture and windows DONE!

Everardo finished the texture! Yay! We are putting bead board on the bottom part, which is why it is not textured there. Take a look!



We also had the stucco around the back windows repaired by adding pop-outs. We did all four back windows so they'd match. They started last week and finished today. Here are pictures through the procress...

After... just needs paint!
