Floors and walls

The biggest changes this time were in the floors (hardwood is all down!) and the walls. All pictures are from Friday August 8, 2008.

The cabinets have been delivered, and are mostly installed.


This is where the fridge goes.


Tile on the floor of the hall bath


And the master bath


The master bath has a Smurf crossing marked:


Oh, wait. It's just a seam being held in place.


The hallway in all its glory

(but I found out that the nifty orange that's visible here will be hidden by the door to the computer room. Woe is me.)

This is the angled part of the little closet in the master bedroom, over the basement stairs. The knock-off Croc is included for size comparison.


Bettie makes sure a sliding door does its thing right


This is the view when standing at the kitchen sink.


And from a few inches over, which seems to be preferable to a chunk of window-frame

(yes, that's the front window reflecting in the window. Open floorplans are neat!)

Down in the basement, the electrical panel has been completed, down to the regulation cardboard map


Some of those wires will be connected to the contents of this pile-o-lights


And I'm hoping, real hard, that this isn't the final configuration for the air filters for our system.


On the outside of the house, we have working porch lights


What we don't have is wire. Some enterprising individual snipped a coil of electrical wire from the outside of the house. The builder had to disassemble the wall to patch the wire so it would be long enough again.


These pictures show that we live in the bottom of a sunlight well. The first is the line of sunlight hitting the trees at about 8PM. The second is the wall of trees that blocks the light.


And that's the latest update.
