Nov. 4 - Catch-up pics

Here are pics of my painted garage floor. I haven't even walked on it yet! They say 12 hours before foot traffic, 48 hours before driving on it and 72 hours before parking on it.

Stairwell.  I'll be applying the first coat of polyurethane varnish on all the stained areas today.

Here's the wet bar area of the kitchen.

 Half bath with toilet and porcelain sink installed....

 Brenda's pantry with shelving installed.....

Laundry sink in the "Do Room". The cabinets that Brenda ordered arrived by FedEx Freight on Thursday afternoon. When we unpacked everything we soon learned that they shipped two 30" base units and neglected to send the larger upper cabinet. The packing list was correct but the actual product mix sent was wrong. The washer and dryer will be stacked to the right of this base unit.

We spent the afternoon in the Des Moines area yesterday. We returned a lot of unused tile and got a refund. We picked out new backsplash to be applied in the kitchen. We also bought as much of the kitchen cabinet hardware as we could at Menards in Altoona. When you are building, Menards rarely has as many units of whatever you need in stock. We are short about 9 knobs and will have to hit the Menards in Ottumwa to get the rest.

We towed our enclosed trailer so we could also pick up a couple of tables that we bought from a business in Huxley, IA. Grab some take-out barbeque in Ankeny to share with Tyler, Emily and Connor for supper and then we were back at the lake by 10 pm. It was another long day on the run. Trapper was glad to see us as usual.

Here's the kitchen with the island pendants finally installed this afternoon. (They had been backordered since July.)

And, they installed the hanging light and the sconces in the stairwell.
