Cabinets, lighting, tile, and stone installation (Week 17)







Finishing touches continue to be installed bringing all those choices together so we can finally see how everything looks. Patrick and George from Lowe's Cabinet and Lighting Gallery in Cleveland arrived with the cabinets and vanities on Monday and worked all week to install them. Back when we met with Kim at Just So Decorating she was a little concerned with our preference of going with Brazilian Cherry Floors with Cherry cabinets with a dark Cabernet stain. Now that we can finally see it all together we are very pleased with how they look. Billy, our electrician also returned this week to finish wiring the electrical switches and outlets, install the grounding system, and install the interior lights. The electrical inspector is supposed to be back this coming Monday which will allow for connection of temporary power. This will allow us to get rid of all those extension cords and turn on the lights. Last week Katie and I decided on man made Ledgestone in a Bucktown color for the fireplace surround. Katie wanted a color that was a tan/gray mixture and I wanted something the was primarily gray. We went with the Bucktown which is a tan/gray mixture however now that it is up it is definitely predominantly gray. Luckily we both think it looks really nice. Tyler, the "tile guy", finished up the tile work this week by grouting the tile he had already started last week and completing the master bath tub surround and tile shower. We are really pleased and excited about the master bath. Everything looks fabulous. Gutters were also installed. We didn't get any earth moved this week and the forecast for next week isn't favorable. Something is going to have to change or the inside of the house will be done and we won't have a septic system, driveway, lawn, or deck. Next week Tim is planning to start installing wood through the rest of the main floor of the house and hopefully the electrical inspection goes well.
