Kitchen Continues

After wrangling the sink into place last week, our kitchen is functional once again. I still need to do some electrical work, and then the wall cabinets can be installed. We really love the new layout and have already found that it is easier to use. Today we bought some flooring material to be installed last. Hopefully, it will all be finished by August.

Work Continues

Today will be the final day of work before Rick heads back to Billings. In the past few days the carport roof has been essentially completed, the kitchen completely torn out, new base cabinets installed, and MDF subsurface cut. Today the solid surface countertop will be all glued together and installed. It is a long and time consuming job, but the counters are beautiful, and will be wonderful in our new kitchen.

Carport Rehab Continued

After tearing the old roof back all the way to the old eves, there was a lot of work still to be done. Part of the original house roof was replaced. Then a new header was installed. This all took most of a whole day to day. Yesterday, we figured out how to notch the beams with a bird's mouth at the end to increase the pitch of the roof. Once the beams were up, the perlins were cut and put up one by one. This took quite a\awhile because they had to be nailed on from the end. Today, we will put the metal roof on, instal flashing, and replace shingles that had to be removed.
