His exit means the rest is completely up to us - scary!
After everything else is done, the wood floor will be refinished. |
We have had a busy couple of weeks apart from the remodel, so our work has slowed down considerably. But, we are still making progress. Don is building the shelves that go behind the peninsula alcove. The vertical pieces will be a finished oak and the horizontal pieces will be painted black. It is turning out to be a major undertaking.
Don built and fitted all of the pieces together completely. Then, he completely deconstructed the unit and is putting on finishes, one side of one piece at a time. It will probably be another two weeks before they are complete and installed.
After all of the appliances were hooked up Sami was unable to go back down to the basement and cook on the hot plate. Using the new kitchen is such a joy. However, the BIG move-in won't happen until all of the plaster work on the main floor is finished and the dust cleaned up.
