getting ready

I have been so busy at work and at home getting ready to go on this trip to Hawaii, that I have been neglecting to update everyone on the blog. So sorry about that.

At home, we have made some progress. You all knew we had a toilet, but we also have a shower and a sink in the bathroom now. The electrical is finished in the kitchen, and the walls have been painted in "French Canvas", and 3 of the upper cabinets have been hung. Now we have to fur out the wall so that we can have 30" deep countertops, and install the lower cabinets. The Slide-in range and dishwasher have arrived, but unfortunately our refrigerator is back-ordered. They haven't gotten back to us yet on when we might get the refrigerator, but it certainly won't be before our company comes the first week in July. It looks like we will still be using the utility tub downstairs as our primary sink for washing dishes, etc.

Good news is that every single tarp has been removed from the floors, and now we have our beautiful hardwoods back. I have swept and mopped, but given the amount of dirt and grime all the construction caused, I'll probably need to mop another time or two to make them like new.

So, it looks like with all this travel there will be another week or so of little updating of the blog. Just wanted to warn you all, and remind you to make sure you come back and check in July. I should have pictures to post by then.
