Pre-Finishing

The cast iron kitchen sink before I get it resurfaced. They have this neat epoxy paint that completely resurfaces the sink. I can't wait to see it all done! The sink had to be 80 degrees and it have been out in the garage... it took days to get it warm.

Countertops!

We got prefab counters for the kitchen. It's called Milano Quartz, though it's formica, looks pretty! And both counters are going to match! I know most homes take that for granted. Watch for the install.

The staircase frame is inside ready to be painted. We measured 15 times and cut the hole and thought we would need to cut it again but alas the hole is TOO BIG, granted it's pushed up against the wall right now and tied to a beam to hold it in place. We need to build a base for it to raise the lone "V" shaped step to above the subfloor up there. Plus we'll be able to get drywall upstairs with the gap there. The repair work and getting it round is going to be fun... but we just won't go there yet. I'm on my way to sand and paint because Dana just hung the plastic floor to ceiling while I was typing and downloading pictures. I have a really pretty New England Birch plywood and a stain that I will pick up tomorrow in the city along with the new counters for the kitchen! I also am in the middle of resurfacing the original cast iron kitchen sink too. I'll post pix of the ugly sink tomorrow, I'm out of light now.

This is the view into the unfinished section. Plus our handsome boys. Sorry about the spot lights I had just painted the stairwell casement over there. The chimney is the 1/3 way mark it's 15' from the front window to the chimney and another 30' back to the backside of the house. We are just wanting for the drywall fairy to come and bring us drywall and then we'll get it all framed in. TAX RETURN!!!!!!

The Boys' VERY messy room area, their bunkbed is centered in their bedroom area, it's all carpeted with nice padding and all. Drywall on the right side but not the left. It is all insulated though.

Hello Dana!! See the boys heap of toys behind the ladder and Thomas is hiding behind the orange sleeping bag
