Still Waiting on Cabinets

Not much change going on at the house. We are waiting on the cabinet maker to start on the cabinets and need to make a decision on all the trim work. 

We needed to paint the garage and put the interior trim up so the garage doors could be installed. Unfortunately, the cedar boards that were put up by the framer were not straight so the sheetrock wasn't flush and Kim had to correct all of that before he could put the trim up.

I painted while he worked on the trim.

Of course it was the hottest day we've had this year with temps over 100 and horrible humidity.

Doesn't the trim look awesome?

The guy we called to get the rock out never showed up so Kim rented a skid steer with a jack hammer to break up the rock himself.

now it's a matter of getting the broken up rock out of the ditch

We are weeks out on the cabinets and trim work so probably won't hear from me for awhile.

Sheetrock Update

It's been awhile, with numerous reasons for delays, but I'm finally back to post sheetrock pics and updates on the house progress.

 the sheetrock truck arrives at the same time as the ditch digging is going on which creates a bit of a problem getting it unloaded in the house

 

Once again we have hit rock that the backhoe can't break through. Aaron rented a jackhammer but they still couldn't get through the rock. We've called a guy with a bigger backhoe but he hasn't made it out yet.

One of the delays in posting has been keeping four of the grandkids for a week. For some reason I keep getting distracted.
