Top that!

The big item today was the delivery of granite countertops for both kitchens.
The granite looks super!  The "granite guys" measured all the bathroom cabinetry so that they can go back and cut those pieces as well.  In a few days we should have kitchen appliances and cupboard doors, and then you'll really get the full effect of the kitchens!

Mom & Dad's kitchen:  cupboards will have white doors, not that blond wood.


Our kitchen:  I was a bit nervous about my decision to have a non-standard kitchen island shape... but I think it turned out okay!


In other news:  Tile upstairs is DONE!  The girls' rooms are so colourful...  that'll be toned down, I'm sure, once there are curtains and furniture items in the rooms

We have some front stairs.  SOME is the operative word.  Sheliza says only uncle Shane would be tall enough to get from the bottom step to the middle step, and then up to the house.  More stairs to come.


Things are moving along...

Wow!

All of a sudden, things have really taken off at the house.  After what felt like WEEKS of tiling the first floor, the main floor is now done and the top floor is about half-finished.  Some of the main floor is grouted, and the rest should be done shortly.


The kitchen cabinets are largely in place.

I think that by the end of next week, we're supposed to have granite countertops in place.

We've got a room full of sinks and faucets (still in boxes, but ready to go!)

Also, baseboards are piled in the kitchen and ready to be installed. 

We've got backyard fences and the better part of a front driveway!

Ah.. there is hope!
