We're Getting a Driveway

Angel's crew is back on the scene to pour us a driveway. This is the prepwork on Wednesday after the curb cutting on Thursday for the inspection on Friday. We get to pour Monday, I think.


If you're a super good observer, you might have also noticed the massive piles of dirt in front of the house. Bill dug a hole. At last. Unfortunately, he was unable to find the sewer line, so the city has to come mark it, so he can connect...and, then.....water? Maybe. Here's the hole:

In conjunction with the driveway, we also get a walkway to the front door.



Erik's been in a frenzy working every night putting up trim around the windows. He built a fake door in my parents' garage months ago to practice and what we decided on is repeated here (the door to the water heater in the garage):



Then he decided to try something simpler, and I think it looks just fine. And it's cheaper. And it doesn't take as long.

Erik bought 15 gallons of "Summertime" interior paint today, so aside from studying, you know what I'll be doing this weekend. Cabinets are in and dad gave us a name of an installer we can use. Erik hired a painter for the exterior and we are....yes, back to Sherwin Williams because that's who he uses. At least we already have a color picked out. Ummm, what else? We're going to buy tile soon. Need to get the wet saw back from my friend Derek who borrowed it. Oh, we have to fix the door to the closet in the master because it was designed/framed/drywalled and it's wrong somewhere in all of that. Erik re-framed it and back comes the drywall guy to make it all match. That's all I've got.
