Appliances were delivered Wednesday. Things are getting closer.

The tilers started Monday. Below they are tiling the utility room.

The kitchen is tiled and ready for grout.

The painters finished painting.

Painter are VERY slow. The prep work took a lot of time.

After two painters and four weeks they finally got far enough along for the tile men to start.

The paint contrast is show below.

Catch up

I'm trying to catch up.

The first of October Abbye's cow "Glory" calved. This bull calf is one day old. Mother and son are doing well.

New House

The sprinkler system is installed and next we planted grass.

Hydro mulch was used to carry the seed.

The grass took about ten days to come up.

Now the inside of the house.

The painters have been here for three weeks.

This has been a very slow process.

Drawers were primed, sanded, and waiting to be painted.

The kitchen cabinets have been stained.

It is hard to see with plastic covering everthing.

Trim has been painted.

Taping, filling holes, sanding, priming and painting. Slow! Slow! Slow!

Cabinets

The cabinets arrived last week. The delivery guys unloaded the cabinets in the middle of the floor. The next crew came and started mounting them. The finish carpenters added the trim and another group will add doors and draw fronts.

Silage & House

Cutting corn silage on Cade's farm.

Good Corn

A VERY powerful machine chopping corn into small pieces.

The retaining wall is close to completion.

The columns were wrapped in plastic to prevent mortar from getting on them.

The outside is close to completion.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great weekend!!!

Sunday night we had a picnic at the house.

Daniel, Heather, and Kenna came to visit.

Cade and Kyla enjoyed the visiting.

Abbye went to sleep and was just getting started again.

Picnic on the front porch.

Abbye leaving her mark.

Now it is Kenna's turn.

Charlie and Amy were taking care of the hand prints and the clean up.

Sorry we didn't get a picture of them.

The finishing touch!!

Who is having the most FUN???

Waiting

Today the men set the braces on the front porch and the back porch. (Sorry no pictures). All the measurements for the cabinets have be done and construction is underway. The cabinets are built in Lubbock and will take several days. I don't know what else will be done until the cabinets are complete. After the cabinets are installed, the trim will be finished and the fireplace bricked. There probably will not be much to report for a few days. If anything happens news worthy I'll let you know.

Trim # 2

The trim is taking shape!!

Below is the crown molding and the proposed cased opening.

Another view of the cased opening.

Trim in our bedroom.

There were several men working today and much was accomplished.
