Moving Day- Round 3!

No, we're not moving back yet!  But the garage is big and empty, so Jim and Dave gave us a mighty hand in moving back some appliances and outdoor items that we were keeping in storage locker number 2.

What to do with this magnificent space?  And don't you just love the Control Panel?

The weather has been rough for outside work, especially on high ladders, but today they were putting the finishing touches on the cedar shakes.

Tile work continues and is looking lovely.

The big surprise is the lighting. All the can lights are in and working. Thank goodness on a day like today.

Dave is trimming out the windows. They look beautiful!

Team Wickstrom was hard at work installing the ceiling lights in the family room. They're called Kable lights and are little LED lights hanging from a couple pairs of stainless steel cables across the family room. (For more info click the link:http://www.techlighting.com/)

Just hope the bulbs last a good long time!

Windows, Pipes and Wires

discussing the kitchen electrical, whew!

Unlike my last adventure, our trip to the house today was all business. We were meeting with the electricians and our contractor to determine the placement of outlets, lights and switches. Pretty detailed stuff.

wrapped and windowed

So much has happened since the last visit. Most of the windows are in; the plumbing is mostly roughed in; the exterior is wrapped; and there is tar paper on the roof.

entry hall lighting was a challenge

The interior has been cleared out and we're beginning to get a feel for the future space.









Meanwhile back in Seattle, we're working to keep up with the progress: choosing plumbing fixtures, exterior colors, interior surfaces, paying the bills  :)

Future shower bench

We added a few personal touches- built in medicine cabinets, glass shower wall, open study for Jeff, lower ceiling heights in the closet and guest bath,  and a seat in the master shower with "found" space from the adjacent bath.

Dave and Sebastian working on the rafters

I appreciate the crew that Jim has  hired to do this work. They are skilled, conscientious, and all-around good people. Dave even weeded the poor pitiful flower bed, so we could enjoy the roses!

And our new hollyhock!













Bye for now,
