We're Almost There!

The electrician has to come and put the lights on the outside of the house, and then the outside will be done! The tile guy will start the backsplash on Tuesday, and hopefully I will have a kitchen for Christmas. Tim will be replacing the trim around the openings to the foyer and the dining room with white trim, and all the baseboards will be white as well, so there is still some work to be done, but we see the end in sight! On the outside of the house we are planning to have columns built and stone put around them, and hopefully extend the porch out a bit, but we didn't like the contractor's plan for it, so we will be looking into that in the spring.
On Monday the granite will go in and the stove and island should be in place then too!

The refrigerator panel is coming on Monday, and the microwave will be built in to that space. The stove is still in the middle of the floor! The masking tape hanging from the light fixture is there because one of the cabinet guys kept hitting his head on it!

Here is a pantry where the desk used to be. The wood floor has to be fixed and the whole thing will be sanded and refinished in January - can't wait for that smell!

The kitchen is still a work in progress, but we are getting there!

Here's a close-up of the stone. The hole in the siding above the stone is where one of the outside lights go. We bought new lights for the exterior, but the electrician has not come to install them yet.

The stone is finally in!

The stone guys made a tent and used heaters in order to put the stone in during the cold weather.
