Dark and stormy day.

I forgot to take this picture yesterday... 

As well as having to insulate the headers, the building inspector said we also had to put in blocking between the floor joists.

I moved a few things over in the morning and my contractor was already working away. Slowly others showed up... The painter, two crew, the electrician and floor guy.

My apples are looking good in my cold room. I have a matching tall bookcase, but it has to go in the living room until I sort out another one.... Maybe.

I actually returned another bucket from my fridge to the top shelf and I added a jar to catch the fruit flies. The top shelf apples have some marks, the little bucket on the second shelf are ping pong balls, the box on the floor and the milk carton are medium size good ones. And the bottom three bins are the biggest sized for eating.

So the decicision for now was to top the other vanity with this wooden top. If and when I don't like it then it can be tiled. Trim on the bottom and nice kicker boards in place as well.

I did not take a picture inside the cabinets, but the new crew guy cut me smaller pieces that make the floor complete. (These IKEA vanities were designed with shelves and bottom not all the way back to the wall, so there was room for pipes.) 

And the door knobs are on.  The mirror cabinet tomorrow.

Floor guy was most probably disturbed by all the people working in the bathroom today. He managed to get one of the shower walls grouted.

There is still much to do. Me thinks floor guy will be around for awhile after I move in!

The kitchen hood fan is good to go. I forgot a picture of things in the cabinet.... It was done very neatly with another little electrical box and conduit. 

Here is a nice box in the bedroom closet covering the vent as it heads up and out...

Door looking good with its handle. We still need to sort out hallway openers. We don't want to put the usual pocket handles in as the doors are thicker... And full of straw!

And the den door is looking good as well. The slight rub on the wall upon closure has been fixed.

In the front room the shelf and the TV mount are in place. I think I should have put the shelf a bit higher, so plugs to the outlet will not show. Oh well. And we still have to do something about the cord chase in the wall.

Hardware on in the kitchen!

Looks great. Hmm... What colour backsplash....?

Not sure if I mentioned before, but the cabinets and drawers are all fancy slow close.

And I picked up a fire extinguisher, now nicely mounted behind the door stoppers.

Tomorrow the washer and dryer make it into their spot and the front room will seem bigger.

The weather is sort of cooperating for this move.... Absolutely pouring, with a few windows of no rain for carry stuff inside. Tomorrow is another big day for moving stuff- almost all of my things.

My house is in the picture below.... In between the two big trees. 

The slope countinues with the lots across the street and this is a shot looking up through the jungle one neighbour is cultivating. This is the nice neighbour that drops plant seeds on my yard!
