These pics are from the trip we made on Friday, December 3, 2010. The forms for the driveways, sidewalk and lower patio have been set and the pour is scheduled for Tuesday.
We decided to go with pea gravel instead of stained concrete (nice looking, more durable and cheaper, too).
The front doors have been stained and are really looking nice. They are made from"knotty alder", and really have "character".
Winnie's china hutch and the bookshelves stained and ready to dust.
Into the man-cave, with the entertainment center and wet bar. The wet bar will have the brass beer engines I brought back from London mounted on it.
I still have quite a bit of old vinyl, so we made some pull-out shelves for my turntable, LPs, and other gear.
We'll be back next weekend to see what it looks like.
We visited the house on December 22nd, more as something to do while we waited for the birth of our first grandchild, Merced Alita, who was born at 11:59 pm that day. We were out again on December 26th, again primarily to see Tim, Nina and Merced, but also took the opportunity to take Tim and Anthony to see the house.
The laminate flooring has been installed in the master bedroom, and it almost looks like real wood. The grain really shines through.
The wrought iron railing was also installed on the upper and lower patios, complete with more Lone Stars!
