Big Time Update

What? Aw, c'mon it's only been 6 months. Give a girl a break! In all reality, it's been a VERY busy 6 months!

 Here is an update from where we left off!

Enjoy.

Trimwork and doors enameled. Thanks, Dad!


The cabinets were a HUGE project. We had three sets of cabinets through out the original house and guest house. Rather than build new or buy new, Greg took the three cabinet sets, cut them apart and spliced them together so they would fit in our kitchen. So, our kitchen is literally three different cabinet sets!


Progress after the first day. This was tiring stuff.


The next day, Mom, Elisa, Brianna and I meandered over to Menards to pick out everything needed to finish our hut. We brought the paint samples to match everything. That was one hefty bill. Kudos to Mom for driving Greg's truck and trailer!


While we were busy shopping, the guys were busy installing the flooring, enamelling the cabinets and prepping the living room for carpet.


Nice flood pants, Dad! :)

Greg designed the window trim himself.  We custom cut everything.  Here's what all the windows look like:

End of a long weekend. Progress: obtained.  Sleep: not so much.  A tired bunch we were. 

Greg taking a much needed nap while the enamel dries.

The final touches were taken care of the following week, which also happened to be the week of Christmas.  Enamelling was completed (thanks Dad), carpet was installed by Greg and his brother, paint touch ups, kitchen hardware, and the final cleaning (thanks Mom, Brian and Brianna!).  It all came together in the end, and we were able to move in on December 26 in the midst of a snow storm!

Stay tuned for the final product!
