Day 23: Only two small jobs left to do

Well, our journey is pretty much complete. Today Zane and Mike came to finish up little jobs like installing a new bifold door in the entryway and touching up some paint -- AND Zane also built a better mousetrap, changing my exterior dryer vent cover and caulking it so that the rodents couldn't get in to the house by that particular entrance anymore (wonder how many are in there now?).

Derek finished the electrical, installing the second pot light over the window and our ceiling fixtures.

So here's a look at the kitchen, waiting for us to move in:

The window side of the room.

The view from the back door.

Rugby invites you to visit his new kitchen.

I did NOT ask him to pose like that. Clearly the lad enjoys having his picture taken!


A closer look at the "peninsula."



I love how they took the stone right up along the window.



The ceiling fixture in the dining area.
The one in the kitchen matches but sits closer to the ceiling.

The jobs that remain to be done are sealing the stone and venting the range hood. Apart from that, we're finished! And over the weekend, we'll begin figuring out what goes where, a fun but rather awesome task. We're going to start with the cutlery . . . it has a specific drawer. So do the spices. After that, well, it's up in the air so far.

They finished right on schedule, and I love the way it all came together. Can't ask much more than that, can you? Another post or two next week to show you how it looks once we're actually "in," and then the journey will be complete. It's been fun sharing it!
