finally some "Stuff" is DONE

So finally we can say one sub-trade is completely done. Yippee we thought that would never happen. Thursday we came home and the tile backsplash for the bathroom was complete. That was the final piece of tile work to be done. They had come earlier in the week and completed the tile behind the stove.
Hey the stove is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So is the fridge and it is even panelled

Friday morning the tile guys came back and sealed the tile and grout in the kitchen and grouted the tile backsplash in the bathroom and with that, their work here is done. The only outstanding item is the sealing of the grout in the steam shower and they don't do that it is a "specialist" that comes in. Apparently it is a particular type of grout sealer that is required because of the steam. The last thing we want is to worry about mold so we are content to wait. That should be next week (fingers crossed). The good news is that one sub-trade is done and we are one step closer to completion.

The plumber is also done (we think). The shower head is installed, the dishwasher is hooked up (can't use it yet as there is no panel on the front so no way of opening the drawers), and the doodads for the steam shower are installed

Keith, the cabinet installer was also here Thursday and now most of the doors and drawer fronts are on. A few still outstanding but closer than we were for sure.

We really are ready now to have our house back.

More work gets done

April 9th

We came home to more cupboard doors installed and even better news the pocket door and new back door are up. (pictures of that soon)

It seems like that took forever. Things are happening. We are now past our origianl completion date but maybe soon we will get our house back.

And then there were doors (at least some)

So we came home today and the cabinet guys had been here today and had begun to install the doors on the cupboards. We can hardly wait till they are all done. As much as we have gotten used to the open concept we are ready to put away our stuff behind doors and get back to living in our house not camping.

Tiling

The tile guys came today and started to install the backsplash. As it went in we were truly astounded by it. We saw the tile, we saw the plan, but seeing it come together. Boy this is going to be one beautiful kitchen
