Construction Week 6

WOW. 6 weeks? Sometimes it feels like it has been forever and sometimes it feels like the weeks are flying by.

Anyway. I have a confession folks. I have been just plain lazy in the blogging department. I've done all this great house research and decision making that I'm just too worn out to devote much time to writing about it. My new camera needs to be charged and I haven't had time to dig out the charger so I've just been using my iphone instead to take pictures. I haven't been editing them.

HOWEVER - school is out for summer - WOO HOO! I'm working summer school but that's super low key and fun. We see a small light at the end of the tunnel in the house department AND we have lots of fun time with friends and family. So I guess that's a promise that soon I'll get better with the blogging :)

For now - I figured you'd rather see blurry iphone photos than not see any at all so here you go!

I'll start at the bottom. The dryer no longer vents into a bucket. I showed you that right? Pretty sure that's not up to code these days.

It doesn't change the fact that the dryer is still old and slow, but it now has a nice metal vent that actually goes outside AND an updated electrical outlet :) Yay for laundry.

Moving up - the basement door is no longer accordion style. It's the little things that make us happy.

The other doors that had accordions are now wide open and have new trim to match the kitchen.

All the cabinets are in! Doors/drawers are waiting on hardware. I just picked it so they will have to wait a few more days for it to come in.

Do you like my pendant lights? I LOVE them! I found them here and the shop owner was wonderful to work with. They were so much cheaper than anything else I looked at and were exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend them!

I realize one is missing. Don't worry. It's here - not sure why but I try not to ask questions.

Here is my future view when I wash dishes. Wonderful.

A view from the dining room.

Future desk.

We moved the fridge over to the right, changing where it was in the original plan, but I think it's going to work out better.

I forgot one cabinet view but you will see it eventually. OK moving on.

They (unexpectedly) had to rip off the fireplace surround to build our shelves, dang. See our new crown molding?

Big news upstairs. Big pink is gone for good.

Ahhhhh.

Ever wonder what an old drain pipe looks like? Me neither but here you go. It's amazing anything drained down that.

Heading outside - Vermont Gas has been here. Maybe we will be able to use our stove before August!

That's it for now. More later :)
