Day 68

Tuesday the 21st of July

  First of all we want to THANK all you VOLUNTEERS FOR your time and help.  We absolutely appreciate it a ton!! Thank you Tom, Mike & Nicole for the help on Saturday! Thanks Mom, Tom & Cheryl for the help on Tuesday! We did a TON of trim work on Saturday (and sunday). On Monday, Rich & I did a ton of running around.  We were still at the house at midnight! Tuesday we were home by 10:00 (believe it or not)       On Monday, the cabinets were begun to be put in.  Looks pretty good so far. Also, Dennis and his guys put in a TON of lights and fans (not to mention, outlet cover, phone jacks, etc)     This is our out side garage lights.  The front and back lights are similar only smaller.  These are cultured stone, guaranteed not to corrode, tarnish, peel, etc.     This is the dining room light.  The kitchen light (you can make it out above) is similar, only the dining room has five halogen lights, the kitchen only has three.     This is the first floor bath.  Larry set some of the vanities as well.  This one he even put the sink top on.     This is looking down the hallway from the garage to the hall outside the kitchen/greatroom. The sconce (on the left) matches the doorbell cover (on the right) you can also see the smoke detector on the ceiling.     Joe and Larry's son Justin have been working on putting up the stone front.  It is very time consuming, and especially hard when it is this hot.  It looks SPECTACULAR though.  Each stone piece has to be individually chosen and placed to fit.     An overall view of how it looks.     This is the recessed lighting in the great room.     Here is Rich's Mom painting the doors.  Tom and she helped us out for quite some time today, they got a good chunk of the doors painted.  Thanks guys!   While they were doing that Cheryl and Rich were sealing (polyeurthane) the door jambs.     Here is the second floor hall looking toward our bedroom.     Here is the second floor bath, Bob & his guys (Mike & Dave) got this one and the one in basement tiled today, but by the time I got around to takign pictures it was too dark in the basement to see it (they haven't done those lights yet).     Here is the fan in our bedroom.  I like the look of it!   Yesterday Rich took off work to do the 'running' today it was my turn.  And unfortunately, I'll have more to do tomorrow, today it was warren/detroit and almont a few times, tomorrow it will be saginaw and utica hopefully i'll get some painting of the doors done the rest of the day!   Day One - May 12 Day Two - May 13 Day Three - May 14 Day Four - May 15 Day Five - May 16 Day Six - May 17 - NOTHING (no work done) Day Seven - May 18 - NO PHOTOS Day Eight - May 19 Day Nine - May 20 Day Ten - May 21 Day Eleven - May 22 Day Twelve - May 23 (May 24-25th Vacation - days won't count) Day Thirteen - May 26th -& Day Fourteen - May 27th NO PHOTOS Day Fifteen - May 28th Day Sixteen - May 29th Day Seventeen - May 30th Day Eighteen - May 31st Day Nineteen - June 1st Day Twenty - June 2nd Day Twenty One - June 3rd Day Twenty Two - June 4th Day Twenty Three - June 5th Day Twenty Four - June 6th Day Twenty Five - June 7th Day Twenty Six - June 8th Day Twenty Seven - June 9th Day Twenty Eight - June 10th Day Twenty Nine - June 11th - News/No Photos Day Thirty - June 12th - CONSUMER ALERT Day Thirty One - June 13th Day Thirty Two - June 14th Day Thirty Three thru Thirty Five - June 15th to June 17th Day Thirty Six & Day Thirty Seven -June 18th & 19th Day Thirty Eight - June 20th Day Thirty Nine - June 22nd Day Forty - June 23rd Day Forty One - June 24th Day Forty Two - June 25th Day Forty Three to Forty Six - June 26th to June 29th Day Forty Seven to Day Fifty One - June 30th to July 3rd Day Fifty Two - July 4th - PARADE PICTURES Day Fifty Three - July 6th  Day Fifty Four & Fifty Five - July 7th & 8th Day Fifty Six - July 9th Day Fifty Seven to Sixty Three - July 10th to July 16th Day Sixty Eight - July 21st    We've begun buying tile and have our carpet picked out:  INTERIOR   If you haven't looked at the plans... go here:  PLANS
