We Are Plastered!

Starting from the top: That box is my heater, instead of baseboards in the new addition we did 2 small ones of those! Petty cool! They will be under 2 cabinets. The next photos are all my bath tile, granite, cabinet colors, I can't wait to see it all together! The others are of my my huge closet (I have no closet space in this house, so I am psyched!) My new wood floor ( we are slated for 12/11 for 3 days of sanding and varnishing! We are moving to the Quincy Marriott for a few nights! Then some other photos to view! The next 2 weeks are going to be crazy between the wood floors finishing, paint and trim staining of everything, tile kitchen floor and our bath, cabinets, granite, and all the faucets in thekitchen and bath...I must go buy those this week! Dave is off to Chicago till Thurs night, so he will see a huge change when he gets home! More photos this week!!! Have to finalize paint colors tonight to give to painter Monday!

Spray Insulation In The Nick Of Time....Burrrrr!

Thank goodness they did the spray insulation today, the house was getting kind of chilly with no insulation in the addition, and just plastic walls up to protect us!! But it is all in, what a messy job! They even had to crawl under the crawl space under the addition outside to do the floor insulation! I hope they pay him well! Enjoy the photos! Inspection and more A/C ducting tomorrow, blue board and plaster Friday. Painting next week....yikes! The top photo is of my new desk space that is next to the fireplace in the kitchen. We decided to close it in on that side since we have so much open space!!

Addition Moving Along!

No photos this week, unless you want to see a ton of wires and pipes. This past week they did all the rough plumbing, electrical and a/c venting. Tomorrow and Tuesday we are getting inspected. Lisa and I (ok,more Lisa) picked out my granite! It of course was $$$$$$!!! Lisa and I have good taste! It is beautiful! Luckily our builder is a friend and he is getting us good deals! Thanks John!!! So hopefully this week, after the inspections, we will be getting the spray insulation done. Then comes blueboard and plaster...I will post more photos when insulation and blueboard are getting done! So all cabinets are ordered, including the bath! Just have to get granite for the bath next. We did have a small change in that we need to tile in the kitchen/work area d/t the old house is very uneven and for them to match up the wood would not have worked. There would have been a slant, so we are tiling. They can "mud up" the floor as to meet the wood, where as they cannot do that with hardwood! Have to pick that out probably tomorrow!! Dave is home tomorrow, so we may take a field trip to the tile place! Photos to be added soon, I promise!

Halloween and Spooky Boo!

Happy Halloween 2008! Emma and Charlotte went for the scary outfits this year: Emma as a Goth Bat Girl and Charlotte as a Vampire! They had a blast trick or treating (Charlotte comes to our neighborhood!) and they made out like candy bandits! We had about 75 kids at least this year!! I ate way to many tiny candy bars!!! Then our friend Clarke found a baby kitten at his job, and we took this one in since they now have 5 cats! He found her on Halloween, she is all black with a little white on her belly! We named her Spooky Boo MacCutcheon! She (or he, we are not sure yet!) is the cutest. Already litter box trained, sleeping thru the night and eating kitten formula from a bowl. She also likes wet food! She is little piggy!
