Cabinets Delivered

The base kitchen cabinets were installed today. Watch the time lapse video courtesy of Alek at watching-grass-grow.com. It's pretty exciting to see this much progress in one day. As you recall we had an issue with the paint color and quality on the previous sample and they spent the last three weeks sanding and repainting-- the quality is now perfect and we love the color (Benjamin Moore Simply White aka Pottery Barn white). Luckily the electricians were there today (working on the heated floor in the master bath) since some wires for under cabinet lighting needed to be pulled through the cabinets (would have been tough otherwise).

Steve Yates, the tile guy, is a hard, fast worker. He's got the basement craft room done, the laundry room done, and the mosaic tile almost finished in the basement bath and the upstairs bath.

We're leaning towards cast iron balusters now as opposed to white wood.

Pete and Todd are making good progress. They are working on the window seats in the kids rooms. They are waiting for more of the wood to be milled for the wainscot. I'm not sure why we are getting poplar though as Todd said Ultra light is cheaper and works as well. I'll have to ask about this in the future.
