Time and a Half

When we walked in today, we noticed that the trim on the side of the staircase has been completed...

The wine room window trim has been installed and the trim at the top of the wine room is almost complete.

...and the bottom step of the stairs has been installed.  The staircase will be carpeted, but the first step will be stained like the floors.

More trim has been added to the two-story entry.  The rest of the house will still have the smaller trim.

Peeking into the wine room, through one of the windows...

...a close up of the top of the wine room cabinets.

Shane and Danny were peeking in & talking about filling the wine room.

The ceiling outside the wine room now has v-groove siding, which will be stained.

Beams have been installed in the harvest room.

...and the window trim is complete.

The kitchen has most of the crown molding installed.  You can see it on the left side of this picture-I'm so glad they decided to add crown; I had no idea how much better it would look!

The kitchen cabinets have pull out shelves and self-closing drawers-I love them!

In the master bathroom, they have installed the frame for Shane's mirror...

...and my mirror...

Upstairs, they have installed the doors to the game room.  I like them very much.

Here is a good view of the doors from inside the gameroom.  They are on bommer hinges that will swing both ways. They've also trimmed the top of the bar in the game room.

 The beams in the ceiling of the wine room...

The guys are demonstrating that the beams are strong enough to hold people, as long as they don't fall through the openings!

The trim guys have another house to get to, so they are working on a Saturday...I hear that's time & a half for them!

Rumor has it that if we are able to select colors soon (as in yesterday), that they will begin painting on Wednesday.
