The Upper Cabinets and a surprise....

Ronnie has started the upper cabinets and appears to be almost finished, other than putting them onto the walls. Tom was doing a few odds and ends items around the containers and then decided to surprise me with putting together my hall tree that I wanted as you come into the house.


And my stove has been put into place.














Here is the Hall Tree, but I might have to paint it white too.

Last of the Walls and the ceiling is finished

 Tom finished putting up the last of the ceiling tile, while I got busy painting the last of the walls in the bedroom. And I painted the last lower counter/cupboard in the kitchen. Ronnie has already started the frames for the upper cupboards.  You will notice there aren't any doors on these cabinets...that's not a design flaw. I decided to have open cabinets because after years of living in a truck, Tom and I can't remember to shut the darn things. So, rather than bang Tom's head (I'm too short to smack my head...haha), I decided to not put in doors on the cabinets. Hard to tell it's a shipping container, isn't it?

The last wall, painted...woo hoo!


















All the bottom cupboards finished.

More Updates...Kitchen and Ceiling

Well, both Tom and Ronnie have been hard at it.  Tom trying to finish off the ceiling and Ronnie in the kitchen.  With me painting whenever both are taking a day off.  They've gotten the boards (beam look) up in the livingroom and going into the bedroom.  I still have the bathroom door to finish, though I haven't decided for sure whether to stain or paint it white. I am planning on finishing the painting on the bottom cabinets in the kitchen this weekend, when Tom and Ronnie usually are not there. And there isn't any sawdust flying around to stick to the wet paint. Work ended early today, Tom and Ronnie had to go into Lowe's for supplies.

Ronnie did a great job on my kitchen so far, didn't he?

Starting the Kitchen

Tom finished up the ceiling and I have gotten the walls painted. So Ronnie has started putting in the cupboards, countertop and sink.  Here's a look at the progress so far....

The walls are all up and painted and the ceiling is going up.

Almost there!

Now it needs a coat of paint!

The Ceiling-updated

Here are a few more pics, the ceiling is almost finished in the livingroom. The kitchen is complete. We are heading for the home stretch!!!

The Ceiling

Tom and Ronnie have gotten the walls up and I've painted them. White, because I want all the reflection I can get into the other rooms.  Tom has started putting up the ceiling tile.  We are getting there, finally!  Seemed slow going there at times, but the weather has settled down a bit, it is reasonably cooler than the plus 100 degrees we were having, so things are getting down again.

Finishing the Bathroom

We've finally managed to get the bathroom all painted and the sink, toilet and shower are in place. All that is left is a few finishing touches, like putting up the mirror and shower curtain.
