Kitchen Taking Shape

This week our contractor started building the kitchen cabinets. The kitchen is small and will basically consist of 5 lower cabinets and 2 rows of shelves around the top. The doors of the cabinets will be constructed of the same wood on the walls and stained the same color so that they look like they blend into the walls. Our contractor is building the cabinets himself and so far we are very pleased with them. They will be much better quality than anything ordered off the floor at your local building supply and will be custom fit to the room.

Moving Along

This week a few things were completed worthy of note. 1. The reclaimed floors upstairs were installed. 2. The metal siding was installed on the front of the house and 3. Work continued on the stone floors. We were able to spend the night in the house with the windows all opened up on the second floor (albeit in a tent on the floor.) The progress is still very slow but we think the end is in sight.
