Cabinets Installed

Today we had cabinets installed in our kitchen. We are going to have a soap stone counter top installed. First, we needed the cabinets installed so a template can be created for the soapstone.


As you can see we have a soapstone sink also. If you apply mineral oil to soapstone it brings out the beautiful color, I oiled the sink in the photo above. Unlike Granite, Soapstone will not stain and is not affected by heat.

Garage Starting Siding

Siding of the garage has been started. As you can see here, the front has been completed.


The back has been started with about half done. The trim has been completed around the windows.

Screen Porch Work

The windows are in the screened porch now. Luckily, these were added before the snow we just had.


This is the inside of the screened porch. Windows for the Winter and screens for Summer.


Work is continuing on the back side of the house, adding clapboards. A few more layers were added than what you see here. It is going to be harder now that we have a few feet of snow on the roof.

Garage Doors

Work on the garage is going painfully slow. We cannot put the cars into the garage yet; we are supposed to get snow today. We did get garage doors installed, they will go up automatically once we get the electric put in. We will be painting the doors the same as the house, for now we chose a close color until we can paint in the spring.
