The finished product

The house, that is. The lawn requires some work.

Have you ever felt like time stood still?

Not sure what to report other than the fact that there has been virtually no progress on the house. Trying to light a fire under out contractor to get it all done by next week.

Countertops

We opted for Paperstone countertops. It is more environmentally friendly than virtually every other viable material and is made locally.

Back on track (we think)

Weeks of snow and freezing temperatures wrought havoc on our planned flooring and cabinetry installation. Most of the cabinets are now in, and the red oak floor has received its first coat of sealer.
