This weekend was taken up by the electrician, Duncan. He finished all the plugs, the door bell and the fixtures. He also has the new breaker box all wired up and ready for NSP to come and hook us up (we are rewiring the whole house and upgrading to a 220 service). That should hopefully happen this week depending on their ability to get here. This would mean that we can use the kitchen, its pretty much ready to go except for countertops and a bit of trim work.
We didn't get any work done on the trim as Mike was sick with the flu all week. Scott did get the jack post cover stained and it looks awesome, it matches the floors perfectly. He also stained the two pieces of T-bar that had to go into the flooring. The stairs got their coat of paint too, we did the steps in a dark brown and the risers in white but I think I may talk Scott into redoing them in the color of all our trim. Other than that they look good.
I tried my hand at frosting the glass in the cabinets in the kitchen and I am not sure about it....might have to just break down and buy some. I spent most of Thursday cleaning up after the floor installation, there was sawdust every where and it was an all day affair.
Friday we made a Q&D (quick and dirty) trip to Halifax to go to the Home Depot, we had to discuss some work that still needs to be done to the kitchen and return a few things. Scotty got himself a dandy leaf blower...the kids love it and the dog and I don't.
