It's been a bit slow in the news department for this project over the past week or two. My mini melt down came last weekend (general frustration over delays and lack of activity). Some things got moving this week and although there's not that much to show yet, much was accomplished in the planning and purchasing. A big contractor pow-wow had us reviewing insulation, plumbing, electrical, drywall and carpentry. Next week: we are looking for the big hole in the roof!
A 4-hour round trip road trip to Ikea (involving 2 suv's, a precocious 5 year old and a westie) produced new kitchen cabinets. There's a bit of work left to be done... like complete assembly and installation.
The most exciting find of the week! A remnant piece of soapstone from Konkus Granite and Marble is going to make for fabulous kitchen counters. Sometimes it pays to be small.
Brandon the plumber has been busy tearing out drywall and replumbing. This is the back of the bath tub as currently viewed from the kitchen.
The laundry room is shrinking as pipes come in from one side and hvac ducts occupy the opposite side. It seems everyone wants a piece of the smallest room in the house.
Who knew the arrival of a gas meter could be so exciting?
Or a dumpster?
Meanwhile we've been averaging one college visit a week. Last week's snowstorm found us in Youngstown. This week's snowstorm finds Logan and Brian in Boston. Hopefully no snowstorms will follow us to northern Indiana next week.
