It looks really big, but let me explain. The white door on the back to the left on the upper level is our laundry room. To the left of that is our garage. From the white door to the right, the main part is our house - plus the upper room in the connecting piece. The lower part of the connecting piece is the kids' new family room and the right is their house. We have a basement below our house.
We've started painting trim and interior doors and have installed some of the trim. There is a PILE of trim to be done.
The first step of the kitchen cabinets has been installed. The counter is scheduled to be installed on May 16. We had a 2-week delay. I won't go into it, but very frustrating.
The hardwood floors are done, although they will do a 3rd coat of poly just before we move in. This is the living room and the doors that go out to the back deck. The door to the left in the back is to Bob's office and the door to the right in the back is our bedroom. In the front to the left by the chair is the hallway to the guest room and my sewing room. I'm standing in the dining room.
We brought our dining room light from our house in Wheaton and it looks just as good in Kentucky.
We have an attached garage which we have never had before. And with a garage door opener! WE LOVE IT!!! Right now it is our trim painting room.
We were excited to nail in our first piece of trim. In our master bedroom.
Things are really popping up in the greenhouse. I'm out of space so Bob is going to try to fit in another shelf if he can. I have squash, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, corn.
You see the greenhouse isn't very big.
The big garden has been plowed. It will be roto-tilled this week. Our current plan is that this is the last year it will be tilled. We plan to lay out permanent planting beds about 2 feet wide and aisles 42 inches wide. We will be able to drive the garden tractor and trailer between the rows. I'm excited to see how this works for us.
All the calves have been born. One cow and calf died, but I think there are 8 that lived. They are growing so fast.
Back to the house progress, the plumber is supposed to come tomorrow (May 6) and do everything except the kitchen - which can't be done until the counters are installed. Also, the concrete will be poured for the 2 basement entrances and a new sidewalk for Charley & Jackie's front door.
On Wednesday (May 7), the electrician comes to do everything except the kitchen. Bryce the intern moves in to C & J's guest room on Wednesday.
If only we could be living there ...
So that is the out-of-control life here in the Bluegrass.
