Almost a Kitchen





Well...we got plumbing and sinks and hose bibs and all that other normal stuff now...well most of it. Maranda is in hog heaven having a sink to do things in other thatn that laundry sink that is so low. I got the Chestnut trim run downstairs as the back splash and window over the sink. I ran all the base board in the living room and prepped the rest of it for next time. Mom was up and she did all the brush work while I cut and sanded. We are using white pine for the trim mostly which is not available in trim sizes so I have to mill and sand everything. I was able to use the bi-fold doors from Center Grove Baptist Church, where us kids grew up, as the surround for the bar. They worked out perfectly and it is so cool to have another historical piece in the house. These doors witnessed my baptism and things like that so they are special. I roughed out one of my cherry slabs for the bar top with a live edge facing the dining room. I have to do some planing on it to flatten the bottom and sand until my heart is content and then the kitchen will be ready for floor refinishing and appliances! Thins are really coming together.
