Lots of crews doing lots of stuff

We have, at most, 21 days to get the house ready for us to live in. To this end.... Thursday : Accent Hardwood did the rough sand in suite and kitchen. Here is Madeline feeling the floor in the suite Laid 70% of new dining room floor. Madeline being a silly monster ballet girl Then David Glick, Rob, and Alvin prepped, primed, and painted the remaining two wood rooms we found downstairs. While wandering around I saw this little bit of graffiti. Wonder who Black Chicken Billy (or perhaps Boy) was/is. Today, Friday Accent Hardwood is there finishing the floor in the dining room.

Taking into account comments, good ideas, and original plans I think we have a new contender. No, before we hadn't thought about where the microwave would go or the trashcan. :) Originally Sara had us putting the range on the chimney and running counters all around it. We couldn't figure out how in practise that would work and started dreaming about dual ovens and cooktops in counters and all sorts of things that are fancy and pretty, but not really needed for how we live now or plan to live later.    This one gives Harris a gas cook top and me a convection oven. Dual fuel from bosch and we're both happy.     It also creates two separate work stations on either side of the range and will fit around the door that will exist for the next year, but not forever. I like that this way we're not building out something that will have to be torn out in 12 months. I really really hate that.   ...
