myWhidbey because we don't live under the rock.

Mark and Sandy from Whidbey Island Woodworks came back today to finish the cabinet trim. They also were nice enough to install the knobs and to fasten down the counter on the island. I thought it looked great before but the kitchen looks awesome now. I'm so excited to have a real place to cook! The picture is of the pull on the one glass door upper we have next to the sink...as you can probably tell it's a frog. I could only afford to buy one but I thought it was cute  read more »

Wow...it's been a while. Let's see. Where to start?  read more »

Yay progress!
Lance and Golda showed up this morning and started on the finish set for the electric...yay! The floor installer just showed up too so hopefully everyone doesn't mind tripping over each other.

I had to move the appliance delivery again to Monday. Hopefully Hubby can complete the tile on Sunday.

The garage door arrives tomorrow and will be installed.

All for now,
--f.g.

Today kinda sucks. Lance called and said he'd be here at the end of the week or next week...I told him I have him down to start today. He said he remembers telling me that he'd be here today....not sure if he forgot or just is overbooked. He did apologize for the inconvenience. Now he and the floor guy (who was waiting to start after the electrical was finished)will be working over each other....if the floor guy agrees to this. What a bummer...I'm really disappointed.  read more »

Hubby worked until 10pm last night getting the tile underway in the kitchen. He had to finish laying the hardi-backer first. He also spent some time sanding the floors so that they will be ready for the bamboo install which will start towards the end of the week.  read more »

The sub-tops need some tweaking so we won't have the formica installed until next Wednesday. I moved the appliance delivery back once more to the 8th.  read more »

The doors arrived today. Now the staining begins...I'm not thrilled about that but the end result will be worth it.

Toby sent over 2 different choices for trim base. We're trying to decide between a 4" or 5" trim in Hemlock. There's about a .50/ft difference so I guess I should go measure and see how much I'll need first.  read more »

The slab has been completed and it was about $1000 less than what I had budgeted even with concrete at $84/yrd. When we did the house in 2003 it was $58....wow. Doug from A2Z Concrete did an awesome job and except for where my dog ran accross it, it's as smooth as a babies rear end!  read more »
