Also at the beginning of the month the countertop company came in and installed the countertop. Once it had sat for a day I hooked up the taps and drain. By this time the shelves had been fixed and were installed as well. Here are two photo's showing the shelves installed and the vanity all plumbed up.
I then decided to start work on making some trim for the front entrance. I decided to do this in Teak. I had some 1/8" strips left over from working on the wainscotting in the living room so I glued them up to make a few pieces that were 1/2" thick by 1" wide. I needed these to extend the door jamb to the thickness of the drywall. Once they were done and varathaned they were installed. Next we installed some blocks at the bottom of the door trim and then the baseboard and casing. I also installed some smaller blocks at the top of the doors for the casing to butt up to. Unfortunately my esthetics failed me and the proportions were screwed up. For now I'll leave it but I think that sometime down the road I'll replace the casing with wider stock to make it look better. Here are two photo's showing the glue up of the teak and the front entrance after installation.
For the last few days I've been working on some more kitchen cupboards that will be installed. At the moment no photo's but I'll have them for the next write up. As well the Surveyors were here so I am only awaiting their paperwork before I can go for the final inspection.
Well Fall is here and with that comes cooler weather and rain. Unfortunately the rain is coming in showers and not gentle soaking rain which the farmers need. I guess now we'll have to start thinking about getting ready for Winter. Well until next time stay warm and dry.
