New Floors

Our hardwood flooring has arrived. We went with a teak wood or Brazilian Walnut, which is a very hard and durable wood with a lot of color variation. The flooring had to be stacked on boards between each layer to let the wood acclimate. After a week of acclimating it was time to install.




Lower Cabinets & Doors

The uppers are in, so now it's time for the lower cabinets and the doors to go on.

Upper Cabinets

It's finally time to install the cabinets and being thismuch closer to having a full functioning kitchen. We worked all last winter to get the cabinets built and finished and they look great. The upper cabinets went it fairly easy, but needless to say they were moved around several times before they were in their final place.




Time for some drywall

With the insulation finally complete, it was time to start putting our house back to together. First up, drywall. We hired Nick's uncle Tony to complete the drywall work. He is a professional and got the job done much faster and did a better job that what Nick and I could do on our own.
