We have been busy. The windows were delivered today! Yeah! Except it rained which is unusual for early September so we'll see how the installation process goes. In preparation, we have been wrapping up a number of things.
Eric took 5 courses of brick off in order to cut a larger window opening. Post move in, we'll be installing horizontal cedar siding. 
I have a sink!!! And a nice one at that. 
Countertop making has commenced. We are using a decoupage compound on top of newly contructed 1/2" ply with 1.5" waterfall with 3/8" routed edge. The compound is a slurry mix of fly ash, pigment, and cement. It will essentially look like concrete w/o us having to make forms and pour it.
Stair trim piece has been installed. 
All new hardware on all the doors. We will refinish the doors at a later date. 
I sanded down all the cabinet surfaces this weekend to reveal beautiful birch plywood. I also started to sand down all the doors and drawers. What a job. We are currently debating if we restain it to the previous yellowish pine color or just apply a topcoat to let the natural color through. 
Job site dogs. Let us in to play in the dust! 
All the electrical has been wrapped up. The last things to do were to cut in the cans for the stairwell going downstairs. Pretty. 
The handrail has been order as well for the mezzanine. It will be a powdercoated steel rail with cables. Next: Window installation, floor sanding, fixture installation, cabinet staining, order washer and dryer.
We have MANY more handrail and countertop pictures for your viewing pleasure if you want.
