At work again

The hardwood is all in place. We need to clean it, put the soft pads on the furniture and get cozy! Peter was in Marinette most of the week doing concrete, so I got to organize cupboards, drawers, and the pantry. The bad thing was the stove and refrigerator were out of place and the stove out of commission as the hardwood went in the kitchen last and Peter was gone. I wish I had a picture of him crawling over the cupboards, feet in the air, after he hooked up the gas again.
Today it is more drywalling in the basement outside the bathroom and bedroom. Tony is coming down this afternoon to tape and get ready to spray that area and the step walls. I think that will be the end of it, with just painting to do.

Things yet to do: construct screen porch, trimwork inside, doors (not many) finish off closets, tile in entry way and upstairs bathroom, flooring in downstairs bathroom, install sink, stool, mirror and cupboard in upstairs bathroom and install the air conditioner. Landscaping outside and getting the garden started.

We went shopping yesterday and got a cooler for our special artesian water (thanks Mary), a radio for the kitchen that picks up NPR, soft cushions for the furniture, 2X4's and plywood, and a tablecloth for the umbrella table (yes the orange one from Texas), and a covered trash container. Pictures later when we get the furniture moved.
