Week 19: Cabinets, Crimes, and Crimson


IMG_7205
Saturday: Sorted all the boxes for the kitchen cabinets. No baby yet.
Sunday: Break in #1. Built one cabinet. No baby yet.
Monday: Installed cabinet twice, rails 3 times, No baby yet.
Tuesday: Break in #2. Painters primed the whole house and painted the upstairs bedroom. No baby yet.
Wednesday: Threw in the towel on the cabinets. Hired a guy. Painters painted all the upstairs bedrooms and primed the living room. The electrician ran a string of temporary lights to ward off criminals. No baby yet.
Thursday: Cabinet guy assembled all the cabinets. We are waiting on electrical changes and floor to install them. Painters finished the interior walls. The colors look great. No baby yet.

Friday: The electrician moved the outlets for the cabinets and got started putting in outlets and light switches. I brought over the lights we had bought at Ikea and shopped for all the additional ones. B. picked up tile samples to check out with me. I caught one error. Nice to catch it before it happens. No baby yet.
Next week, light fixtures go in and we hope to see the deck happen (and a birth, she is due Saturday but I think she’s holding out for the new house).

The suspense is killing me…no posts for 3 days? I’m guessing a baby has arrived. :) Hooray!

Your house looks so great all lit up! And those are really nice paint colors – we have both a green and a red like yours ;) The green, especially, looks almost exact. What’s the color/manufacturer?
Looking forward to seeing the cabinets in…

Still here. Still no baby :( I’m already two days overdue!
I swear she’s waiting for the house to be done! I joke that the moment the keys are handed over, my water will break ;-)

Agreed, every time there isn’t a post for a while, I assume baby Erwin has arrived!

I have had a very severe outer ear infection. Poor David has been juggling the world by himself! Hopefully the infection will soon depart and the baby will make a welcome arrival :)
