| The
concrete patio and side walk are poured. Again, the kids were at
school and missed their opportunity to immortalize themselves in the
cement. Work in the backyard shifts to sprinklers and drains (all
cut when the foundation for the addition was put in) while work inside
is to prepare for the last major job of the remodel, the tiling of the
addition. |
 |
 |
 |
The concrete came on the
29th. Not nearly as much as last time, but it still took a cement
truck and pump.
|
|
We decided to put some curves in
the patio this time. It's also a different color and texture than a
plain vanilla concrete patio, like the old one we replaced with the
addition.
|
 |
 |
And we connected the sidewalk on
the south side with the patio on the north with stepping stones, or
stepping disks of concrete.
|
|
The garage is beginning to fill
up. In addition to the new refrigerator and stove and old dishwasher
that have been in here for a while (displacing Kristi's car), now we've
got the tile for the family and kitchen floor, plus the downstairs
toilet, bathroom door, and boxes of other stuff, both new and old.
|
 |
 |
Now that the cabinets and
knobs/pulls are in, Kristi has begun to move back into the
kitchen. She has already made an attempt at filling the
pantry. She has wanted pull out shelves since her mother got them
as part of a kitchen remodel on the farm nearly 20 years ago.

|
The sink is in (it even has
water!) but the dishwasher isn't, so the new sink is getting a work out.
