The first big moving day has finally come. No, we are not in the house yet. We are living in the garage. Well, we are still living in Sadie, but she is now in HER new home in the RV garage of OUR new home. The home may be finished (or at least ready for final inspection) next week.Currently, the crew is working on the stone veneer on the fireplace. It is going to be really pretty. Roberto is an artiste of the first water, and as I told Duane the other day, he is the only guy I know who is a jack of all trades and master of all of them!!
One of the advantages of living on the building site is that we can use the shower, which is a whole bunch bigger than the shower in Sadie. The shower door isn't installed yet, but we were able to put up the shower curtain bar and the liner that will eventually go in the other bathroom.
The plumber was here today and installed the kitchen plumbing and finished up the guest bath and the utility sink in the shop.
Here's a shot of our "art deco" dining room chandelier. We call it the "Clack Ten Memorial Chandelier" because we purchase it with the gift card the group gave us when we "retired" as group leaders in Clackamas.
One of the things I have been able to contribute to the house project is to do the tile backsplashes in the bathrooms and kitchen. Here's the kitchen. If the tile looks familiar, it is because it is similar to the backsplash I put in the kitchen in our last house. We like the new tile better, because it looks like natural stone, but it is porcelain tile, which doesn't absorb grease like stone.
You can click on any of the pictures to blow them up for closer inspection. Stay tuned.
