Siding progress!

Our new Hardie (Cement Board) siding is moving along - a couple shots......



Of course, it will be painted - this yellow-ish color is just the base color that we'll paint over.  When done, it will be this color - called Knight's Armor:




And this is the LAST we'll see of this 1975 Garage door that is falling apart, as it gets replaced tomorrow (Thursday)  YAY!  Stay tuned!!!

But first.....more cabinets going in the Kitchen....





And, while this is all going on at the new place, Ahi & MaiTai sleep through it all at the rental house :)

They'll get this all closed in tomorrow, then insulation & drywall & MORE PAINT after we get back from our annual trip to Lake George, NY for Ohana Luau at the Lake.

Paint & Cabinets, oh my!

Another weekend of LONG days, but I happy to say that the painting that we are doing in the house is DONE - YAY!!!!!

And - the first load of cabinets arrived Friday, with the remainder coming on Monday.  Double YAY!!!!


 First-up, we finished striping the laundry room.....






And, the Master Bedroom is now looking bright & cheery



& Master Bath Cabinets have arrived.....



The only picture I got of the under-stairs backstock liquor closet is blurry.....I guess that's appropriate ;)



& the Kitchen Cabinets have mostly arrived, too!



& Caroline's office with the shelves to be installed taped-off



SO MUCH PAINT!!!!!!!!

Busy, Busy with more painting....Ready for Cabinets!

Our Cabinets are being installed Thursday & Friday, so painting priorities are now focused on the rooms that will have cabinets.  Tonight we got most of those rooms done, but it was too dark when we finished, and no lights in the house, so pictures TOMORROW.

That is.....except for one.  The last picture is not all that well lit, but couldn't wait to share :)

A bit of a change to the Laundry Room........





We still have to do a little touch-up & stripe the rest of the room, but the 1/2 where cabinets & counters are going is DONE!
