Misc. updates

The work is continuing around here. Still a lot to do but I'm starting to see progress. All the roofs of the house are finished as is the garage. They had to sheet every single roof except for the garage which they weren't planning on having to do. But when they discovered the steel roof on the house they didn't have a choice. And other roof lines still had cedar shakes on them. They are getting ready to start putting the siding on the garage soon. It's going to look SO different from it's ragged old condition. Marty (our contractor) worked on setting the bottom kitchen cabinets yesterday. Not only is our poor old house not square in the corner it's REALLY not square! There's a huge gap between the wall and countertop at the one end. And unfortunately I don't think there's much that can be done about it. Plus in order to get the cupboards level on our sloping floor they had to be raised up quite a bit off the floor so we'll also have to raise the stove to balance it all out. Not quite what I'd hoped for but nothing can be done about it. At least nothing that doesn't cost a small fortune to do. Hopefully the toe kick will help hide some of that :(

I'll add a picture of how things look so far. Obviously the top cupboards aren't hung yet and the picture really doesn't do the room justice. The cupboards have a really pretty color to them and aren't as dark as the picture makes them look. The new window is in but Jason needs to trim it out yet. The countertops are just laid in place right now. And the sink isn't in yet. I'm getting anxious to have a sink again. I'm getting tired of washing dishes in the bathroom sink. It's just a shallow pedestal sink so it doesn't work very well. And our bathtub is upstairs so using that is a pain too. I'm ready to have my house back and in working order! So far they haven't given us a definite date of when we have to be out so that they can begin working on the windows. I'm guessing it'll be before too long though.

Today is Kyle's last day of kindergarten. I can't believe how fast the year went! He's excited about summer break. More than I am I must admit. Having no breaks from either of these munchkins is going to wear me out. LOL Blows my mind to think that by this fall I'll have a 1st grader! The kindergarten classes had a pool party on Monday at the city pool. They had a blast! Then yesterday the kindgarten classes got taken to the ice cream shop. I'd say they are getting spoiled at the end of the year! :)

Well, I guess that's about it for now. Thanks for stopping by to read this!
