The granite has been moved back till a week from monday, effectively ending our desire to be moved in next week. But the worst thing is that we will have to pay another months rent and only stay for 1 week. Either way, it's down to a matter of 2 weeks and we're in. The good thing about that is that I will complete more of the house. I'm working to complete every item upstairs now, base moulding, staining doors, trimming the round window in the bathroom, and completing the shelves and valance over the vanity. I also need to build the master vanity glass countertop, which should be an interesting project. And a couple of hours later, I have completed the round window trim and it looks so awesome, I will post some pics of it. Also got a call from the granite folks and they have moved the install up to next thursday, yeehaw! Dang, I wish I had some help installing the doors, but I'm fixen to have to get after it anyway. I am the wood master and this is where I shine, so shine on Hollohead. Awesome weather the past couple of weeks, just need some rain to get water in the creek again. I am so tired of sawdust, gets in your eyes and I gotta wear a dust mask all the time.I am also tired of working alone, I'm getting all warped up from too much focus on one thing. I'm ready to balance out things more, but there is still about a month of completing things all the way inside and out. I will be done just in time to enjoy fall and hiking season. My biggest problem after finishing the house is having a place to put all our tools and boats and implements and gear. We need a guest house and garage and gear shack. So everyone get out and enjoy this beautiful weekend. Later, Holllohead
O.k., So the granite was installed today and looks great, now for the tile backsplash. Next up is the glass vanity and walnut shelves in the master bath, which is the only thing left upstairs, oh yeah, mirrors and shower doors. After I finish those items upstairs, I will move to Matt's room and finish what little is left in there. Got good news from my old carpenter,he's coming for a couple days next week to install the jambs and doors, saving me 4 days of doing them myself. This helps immensely, and will speed up move in date, yee haw. The interior doors look soooo good, just a lot of work in them. About 2 weeks of hard long days of focused woodwork, and I'll be compete in the interior, then a couple weeks on the exterior to basically finish the house. There will of course be plenty of projects to entirely finish, but at least the place will be done. I will keep posting pics of the last days of the massive project. Later, RJ
