Labor Day Labor


In celebration of Labor Day Weekend, we went all out!
First things first. Our kitchen cabinets are pretty much all installed!!! Wow again. We absolutely love them, especially the “live edge” on the upper cabinets. Lights need to be hooked p and they are done. Countertops next.
Saturday – Main goal was to “finish” big windows in living room. Tasks included: sanding, caulking/taping, painting, sealing window frames, washing windows…. All on scaffolding. Also sanded, caulked/taped all other windows in house. Done. 14 hours.
Sunday - Goal was to finish all tiling in pantry and powder room. Did it. 13 hours
Monday - Goal, grout tiling and prep ceiling for area “below loft” More fun included.., unload all 43 – 16ft tongue and groove spruce boards, set up on saw horses, sand them, stain them, and then finish them with a clear sealer. Then, let dry while we worked on the grout. Then Debbie lifts all 43 boards up to Don who is on the upper deck, and then bring them in the house to dry. Extra credit…. Finished both windows in the kitchen to get area ready for counter top installation. Done. 10 hours.
Man, can we ever celebrate!
Hope to install "ceiling" this coming week/weekend.
