Great progress in a week


I was gone last week and so this post is a bit of a catchup.  There were three major things accomplished:  the painting and staining is complete, the outside is rough graded and the flower beds are in place, and the hard wood floor is in.
Dining room with wood flooring stored in it and the wallpaper stripped off

All of the windows are finished.  The Rosettes should be here next week

And the new kitchen window was caulked ready for trim.  There probably will not be a lot of work during the next week while we wait for the remainder of the cabinets to be built
