There's a hole in the kitchen!

Midweek update . . .

Tuesday was a banner day. Jeremy worked from home so as to be able to answer any questions thrown at him by the inspector . . . his electrical work passed rough-in inspection! Yippee!

Before Tuesday, the kitchen looked like this:

After Todd worked all day, the kitchen now looks like this:

The cat fell through the insulation that was under the plywood into the crawl space. She had a fine time chasing the mouse smells.

Belle hates the gangplank that is her only route to the outside. She point blank refuses to walk on it and has to be carried. When she wants to come in, she scratches at the door and when someone opens it and tries to pick her up to carry her in, she runs away. Daft dog.

No kids have fallen in. No grownups that I know of have either.

More substandard construction will be fixed here as Todd adds diagonal steel things (like my technical term?) to stabilize the joists in relation to each other. He is planning to be done with the replacement of the subfloor today (Wednesday). Tomorrow will be bamboo flooring time for Todd and Jeremy working together, then it's time for drywall and then cabinets. I guess at some point we need to make a decision on counters.

Other work being done/scheduled . . . septic tank has been pumped out (first time since we bought the house), gutters are going to be replaced on the front of the house, and I don't know what else. I am sure there is something. Cheers to all!
