Sunday Morning, January 19, 2014

Sunday morning, January 19, 2014 - met with Clair early and discussed some issues and made choices. Another beautiful shades-of-gray-and-pink morning. Looking at the first photo below it does not look like we're high on a bluff overlooking Lake Huron - but we are. There's a big drop-off, gradual, not sheer, just beyond the tree on the left and the low lying bushes.

There are sheets of cardboard and pieces of carpeting protecting the newly installed oak floor and the new counter tops. The fridge, microwave, dishwasher, range, washer, and dryer are here and ready to be connected - maybe some time this week.

                                                 Lake Huron from the bluff.

From top to bottom above: the kitchen from the bedroom, the newly installed kitchen cabinets, the hall leading from the garage to the kitchen with the bathroom on the left and storage closets on the right, bathroom cabinet, bathroom shower.

                             Laundry area and stairs leading to the partial basement.

I've been calling this the "cubby" but maybe George Elliott wouldn't mind tole hole? Regardless, the door is now painted to match the wall. The final coat of paint will be applied when everything else is finished.

I've heard people say for years that you find out who your friends are when you're sick and/or hospitalized or when you are building and/or getting ready to move. I found the former true years ago and now I'm finding the latter true as well. That's great because it helps me set my priorities.
