Sunday, May 31

We are lacquering all the doors that have not been hung so far.
They look like this when finished:  master bedroom closet.
In preparation for being old people in our house, a teak seat, shower hose, and grab bar. Also good for washing feet in the summertime.  Still waiting for shower doors.
Grab bar/toilet paper holder in master bathroom.
Make-up mirror in the master bathroom.
And new medicine cabinet.

The electricians came Thursday and finished the can reading lights over each couch.  Lights are on separate dimmer switches.
All three bedrooms have this as a ceiling light (photo darkened so you can see the design better.
And a can light in the shower.  What was once the darkest bathroom is now the lightest:  window, can light, and the vanity lights below.
These are actually very bright, but again, darkened photo so you can see the shape better.

The big news on Friday afternoon was the delivery of our two Comfort Sleepers (our new guest beds/couches)
As the fine print says, no bars , no springs, no compromise. We think this was the best choice of everything we looked at.  A gift from Mother Kelsh who will get the opportunity to try it out end of July.

Red couch in the south bedroom.   Brown couch in the north bedroom.  Very comfortable couch and hopefully comfortable guest beds. Two can lights with dimmers are being installed for reading over each couch.

Last week was a slow week and it was frustrating as a result.  Our contractor is back from his trip and there is progress once again.   The floor to the master shower is moving along nicely.

We have used up all all door trim and baseboard hemlock and more needs to be ordered.  A delay until it arrives and the two of us can lacquer all the boards.  The weather is supposed to be warm and sunny this weekend.

And there is progress on the shower itself.  Note the 7 colors of the accent trim.
