Dear Mike…we finally have some progress! As you can see in the photo on the left, the tile has been laid in the kitchen (and the bathroom), complete with the underfloor heating. The electrician has even hooked up the heating in the bathroom and I did a barefoot walk across the floor to feel the toasty warmth. Can’t wait until a cold winter morning to revel in that!
The other exciting thing that is happening involves the kitchen cabinets. The bases have been delivered and placed, which means the granite guys can come and template the countertops. Apparently we are going to get a temporary countertop while we wait for the granite to be fabricated, which will take 4-5 weeks. The other update is that the overhead fan for the cooktop has been stuck in place, but at this point it is too low and my head will bash into it! I’ve been assured it will be raised, and the motor will be installed about 20 feet away in the attic to keep the noise down.
The kitchen and bathroom are finally starting to get that look of ‘should be finished soon’, instead of a project at the very beginning. Here’s a YouTube video to keep you up to date:
