Roof Magic



Carport Skeleton

Disaster



This week our kitchen was torn up way more than I thought it could be.
Floors, Walls, Ceilings. Plumbing, Electrical????
This more than anything really worries me.
I know it will all be OK, but it is kinda hard to image right now.

I had an email update from ikea last week saying they were putting the Ingolf Barstools on sale for two or three days only. I got to Ikea as they opened on Friday in order to pick up several of these stools for only 19.99 each. Solved the need for barstools, and saved a lot of money. They may get a paint job to match our style better but they are pretty nice as is.

Rain, Rain, Go away, Stay above my garden, but not my house.

Now it is raining in austin for the next several days, and like half as many degrees as yesterday.
The frame for the carport was welded into place yesterday and HVAC work was done.
Carlos says the plumber is coming tomorrow for kitchen and bathroom stuff. sounds like things are wrapping up. All I know is that it is very dark in the kitchen/living/dining room at night with no electricity and that is getting very old.
Off to work, hopefully traffic won't be horrible.

Ohoh, and the bathroom faucets came today, very pretty.

Slabs and Cabs

All concrete has been poured, pictures to come as soon as I have time when there is light outside. Some mistakes in the bathroom area, plumbing stuff not in the right spots, but we think it can be worked around, although it caused some irritation since we asked for it to be double checked before the concrete(not really sure how the mistake made it past several people.)

Saturday we bought the bathroom vanity. Now we just need to figure out sinks and countertops. We know the toilet we will get, but we are waiting until we can make sure it will be installed within 30 days of purchase so we can get the rebate from the city. We also will need to order the faucets as soon as we know what sinks we will go with although we already know the design, it is just the particular type, vessel, one hole, three hole, ladada.

We also need to decide on lights/fans for the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
I know what I really want for fans, but they are pricey, so we will see.

The kitchen cabinets may come in this week, or next and the window for the front should be here this week, for sure, i hope, maybe...
