n Lots has been happening, of course. Progress on the kitchen: All the doors have been made and reinforced and hung. I found some brushed metal pulls that are fairly contemporary and look like modern boat cleats. Ended up getting figured maple for the counter tops, which should look fairly cool.

I am working on the floors upstairs. Spent about an hour on my hands and knees pulling out old linoleum tacks and punching down nail heads in preparation for sanding. I sanded a bit last night, but had to call it quits around 5:30 to entertain friends and their kids at home. It's 5:30 am now and I plan to be sanding in about 45 minutes. The master bedroom floor is easy as there is no paint on it, just trying to get the spray from the foam insulation off.

Monday all hell breaks loose as the electricians will dig to bury the power lines, finish the electrical, hook up the lights and new hot water heater we installed yesterday. Monday also has our contractor coming to install the rubber membrane on the roof for the second floor deck.

Been trying some color washing on boards. So far have not come up with a winner for colors, but I have to choose this weekend, or we will not have anything for Greg's family to do when they get here next Thursday! Plus Sherwin Williams is having a 25% off sale this weekend.

Too tired to post photos today.
