We installed ceiling speakers in our living room in August. This will eventually be connected to a surround sound system, but for now we have our CD player and/or computer hooked up to it. It has a great sound and looks much better than wires sticking through the ceiling.
In September we hung shelving in the back porch closet – this officially completes all of the closet shelving in our house!
The lawn mower has been relocated to our garage, making the back porch much cleaner.
Adam finished the trim around the front door! He cut the curved top piece and routed the top and side trim to make it completely custom. We were also able to finish the base boards – I think it looks great!
I spent a long time finishing the caulk around the trim – caulking baseboards to walls, baseboards to tile, trim to wall under the granite . . . lots of places. Here’s my work station in the hall.
Here’s the largest gap I had to caulk. It had been driving me crazy, but it’s all pretty now. This is the door from our kitchen to back porch and the gap was almost half an inch. This picture was in process, before I smoothed out the caulk.
The last fruit from my garden was this watermelon. The garden hadn’t produced anything in awhile, so we ripped everything up and discovered this small melon. This was by far my biggest one, but it still wasn’t big enough – inside it was solid white. Oh well . . . I don’t think I’ll do watermelon next year.
We mounted hooks in the nook off the garage, so it makes this space much more functional. Eventually, we will build a bench with storage for shoes underneath and shelves with hooks above. But, this works great for now.
Our latest project has been transition strips. Here are the doors going to the two bedrooms off the hall.
This is my favorite – makes the transition almost invisible. This is the Living Room to Hall.
Here’s the Foyer. The far two sides are done and the closest one isn’t yet. We have to special order that side because it is longer. We still have a couple transitions left, but we're covering up the last bit of concrete one strip at a time.
We bought this table and chairs for the Breakfast Nook off of craigslist last weekend. It’s very nice to have something in that space now.
We installed a rain sensor for our sprinkler system – now it won’t go off in the rain. :)That’s it for now. We're plugging away at that punch list and it’s a great feeling to check things off.
