A few more finishes

The fireplace is now finished except for the mantel. The ledgestone is up and the slate is on the floor around the fireplace. There is hardwood to be refinished now.



A couple of pictures of the new granite counter tops. The appliances have yet to be installed -- but the nice corner sink is in place and waiting to be plumbed.



Next to tile the backsplash.



And another picture of Jim up on a ladder painting!! Hopefully we both survive this renovation!



Last weekend I was sleeping from a night shift and about 1:30 I heard Jim calling me very loudly - I got up to find him up on a ladder on the front gable of the house but one side of the ladder had come off the house and he was hanging sideways - holding on to the gable and the sideways ladder!! Quickly I had to get a step ladder for him to transfer to or it would have been a very long fall/jump to the ground. He says better he woke me up to help him rather than wake me up to take him to the hospital with broken bones! I agree!

  4. The reno is looking fantastic Pam- I love your new kitchen and the openness that you have created by moving the fireplace.
    Glad to hear that Jim was alright- how scary to be hanging without the ladder. Good that you were there to help him out...
    Hope he has no more painting adventures.
    Be well and don't work too hard,
    Hugs,
    Anna
