Well, it has been over a week since our last post and it isn't because are bored with the blog. Gary took the camera with him to Olympia to get a special photo for our niece Shayelyn. But some stuff happened and here is a summary.

The snow started melting earlier this week and as I right this there are only traces of snow on the ground around Seattle. And with the snow going away Ideal Building was able to get back to work on the house. Rob was here this week to complete the tiling in our bathroom. And today, Gary and I went out to buy the grout for the shower tile. We chose a charcoal color for the grout as we thought it would be a nice accent against the tile.

I met with our friend Pete from the chorus about the new TV cabinet for our TV room. He brought a design along with his bid and I signed off on the design. So he will be building our cabinet over the next couple of weeks out of cherry and then staining it to match our Kitchen. The cabinet will be 8 feet long and 24 inches tall. It should accommodate a lot (but not all) of our DVD's and then our video components. Our new 50" plasma will sit on top of the cabinet.

Ryan from Superior Cabinets returned to the house to level all the kitchen cabinet and bathroom vanity doors. He also adjusted one shelf in our pantry to allow us to put our dog food container in there and as you can see Abbey is very interested in getting into it.

Starting tomorrow Ideal Building will finish the door and window trim outside of the house, and then Rob will grout the shower and the granite for our new window in the kitchen will be installed. And hopefully, by the end of the week the power will be switched over to its permanent location. Fingers Crossed!
