End of Day Eighteen

Days 16-18 our contractor did detail work on the crown & base moldings. He also finished some electrical work, installed grates on the heating & a/c vents under the "peninsula," installed the gas line for the stove and did the plumbing for the sink. John & him decided that it was best to replace all the cast iron pipes from the Kitchen into the basement, so they worked together on that project. He also put the paneling back on the wall in the Family Room.

Over the weekend, between Days 17 & 18, we did a thorough cleaning of the Kitchen & Dining Room. Then we moved everything back into the Dining Room (table & items in corner cupboards). It sure is nice to have the Dining Room back!

Now we have 3 full days with nothing happening as we wait for the countertops to be ready. Then the last day of the project will involve the countertops, appliances & sink all being installed. It will be a busy day, but everything will be done and we can move everything into our new kitchen over the weekend.

Here are some latest pictures...

Gas line for the stove...I can hardly wait to have a gas stove again!!
