Ceiling Fans

Cory's room has a fan, but Tyler's does not. So I told Tyler that his fans were in the bonus room. When we walked into the house after work on Tuesday, Cory ran in saying, "My fan is in! My fan is in!" So Tyler ran over to the bonus rooms and yelled, "My fans are in too!" Then Cory said, "This is my favorite day!" The excitement in their voices was contagious. I wonder what it will be like when we actually move in and start unpacking their toys that I told them they could have when we finally move into the new house.

The fans in the study, master bedroom and back deck haven't been installed yet, but looked like that will get done today. More fan pictures this week, I'm sure.

Even More Lights

Most of the light fixtures are in place. Looks like they'll be done this week.

Mistake

The kitchen cabinet for the refrigerator was built too short. In fact, one panel was the right side while the other one was short. The carpenter trimmed the long one down to match and mounted it. It made it so the refrigerator would have stuck out over 4".

The cabinet guy tried to cut some corners and had some panels made locally that not only didn't match in color, but in grain or in luster. In addition, it not only didn't match, but the idea was to lay the new piece on top, which would make the side flush with the fluting on the sides, which didn't match any of the other cabinets.

Since he was trying to cut corners, we lost a week or so on ordering the cabinet from the original manufacturer. But at least we know it will match.

Before putting the first coat on the floor, the carpenter removed the old cabinet for the refrigerator.

They'll be putting 3 coats of varnish on the floor. They just finished the first coat.
