The Muck Truck

Den and TC gave us the housewarming of all housewarming! The muck truck arrived in time to haul garbage. As I am writing this we have also used it for hauling dirt and lots of wood for the fireplace.

Lower Cabinets

The cabinets found a new storage place in the sunroom prior to installation.
Jeff did the thinking while I supervised.
Oz came to help to. Jeff is so much more fun to work with when Oz is around!
There are so many cabinets! Doesn't Jeff look happy!?
We got them all installed! The peninsula and island are bolted through to the basement! Built in typical Jeff fashion! They are wonderful!

Trim and Wood Floors

Tom and Joel started installed the trim. They Kreged the pieces together and hung them as a whole piece.
It made the sunroom almost complete. We just need a gun over the fireplace!
The kitchen floor wood was delivered with a couple coats of finish already on it! Thank goodness!
In just a few days...
It was ready for boys in socks!

The Roman Shower

This is one of many exercises in excessiveness! Gary the tile guy spent many tedious hours creating a work of art in our bathroom!
We have a walk-in shower that is tiled from floor to...
Yes, that's tile on the ceiling! I just know I will be the one to get konked on the head when one falls, but it is Beautiful! It even has a seat!

Upper Cabinets

We built and finished the cabinets at home and brought them up in March. Dad helped install the uppers. He's the right height! We started in the laundry room.
Much to Jeff's despair I insisted on installing the oven hood. It blows smells outside of the house!
He was glad he had planned so well. Everything fit!
I love the paint color with the maple!

Fun with Warm Tiles

By the end of February we were ready for tile. We started with hardi backerboard on the floor.
Then we had fun with Warm Tiles. No one likes cold tile floors!
Next we put down the tile with the help of Jeff's laser gadget. I was amazed at how straight the tiles stayed!
The next weekend was grout. Not bad at all!
Then Jeff got to hang his super towel dryer! He put Warm Tiles inside of this tile and mortar monstrosity! 180 pounds of towel mildew prevention!
Jack got the idea from Poly union that he should go on strike! Warm Towels for everyone! Ha!
