A busy weekend......

Things moved a little slower this week/weekend as we had Eliza's graduation, and Todd also had spring meetings and evening events this week.

House acrosss from us (to the north)--pretty nice...

House to the west of us...he has borrowed our lift for the week.
House to the east of us. It's for sale if anyone is interested!!!

I was in at Ponoka Cabinet Makers on Friday morning just to finalize a few things. We have changed our minds--yet again--and are going to with MDF cabinetry through out. This should lower the cost a fair bit--so maybe I can get my granite countertops now--keep your fingers crossed for me..... We are still going with a bead board door on the outer kitchen cabinets in an antique white, and then the island, all vanities, and the cabinets above the washer/dryer will be in a dark chocolate stain, in a flat panel door.

Todd and I had to decide on what kind of lighting we wanted where as our electrician is flying right along. We agreed on most things, so that was great! We will be putting in quite a few potlights (in all the bedrooms and the office), a few pendant lights (over the island), a couple ceiling fans, 4 or 5 wall sconces, and a couple of chandliers (over the dining room table and in the staircase area). It is all very exciting.

Our drywaller is going to meet us out at the house on Tuesday, just to let us know the final few things that need to be done before they can start (ie: backing we have missed...). He is also hoping to give us a better timeline as to when they think they will be finished by--we are hoping to have them start by the second week of June....
