Post Christmas catch-up

Hi to all:


We had a lovely break from construction, escaping to Canaan Valley, West Virginia, where the wildlife and fireplace were highlights. We are back now, and posts will be coming just as fast and furious as the work progresses!

Before we left, Todd had most of the cabinets in place along the perimeter wall so granite templating could happen on December 28. When we returned, he had finished that part of it. We promptly put the new fridge in its spot, and then watched with great interest as Nathan (from Cogswell, our granite guys) templated (with skinny wood strips!) for the new countertop. We then drove out to the fabrication spot to view our slab . . . it is going to be great!




Projects for the next couple of weeks are numerous (of course!) Jeremy is working on installing the new wall oven, and then he will tackle the gas line. Plumbing the new space will likely take a lot of his effort, particularly the drain lines.




Decisions still to be made? Finalize the shower for the new bathroom, including fixtures, pulls/knobs for the cabinets, paint color(s), backsplash, and furniture!
