November 2nd House Updates

The carpeting on the basement got started over the weekend. Declan is enjoying the nice soft floor in the family room for my picture.

Here is the wine cellar floor. We choose to have it stained. Hopefully, since the weather is supposed to be horrible the rest of this week, he will get the walls done. It is very smelly.

Here is the back of the house with the deck and railing finished.

They got the Timbertech on the steps, too.

The kids are posing on the deck for me. Yes, you are right it is huge. We tried to plan the deck to where we will be putting furniture on it. Our neighbor gave us a good idea before we made the deck plans and that was to not have our table and chairs right in front of the patio door. It would kill the view and we agreed. After making sure there was room for that, there was no good spot to really taper it off to the stairs, so we kept it simple and a rectangle.

There are more finishing panels on the kitchen cabinets.

Here are 3 different views of the kitchen.

This one of my favorite parts of the cabinets, a stand for my mixer. No more carrying it around the kitchen to store it. There will also be an outlet in this cabinet, so I just have to pull it up and use it on this shelf.

The pantry cabinets have doors on them now. If this isn't enough storage between the kitchen and pantry, we need less stuff.

Other side of the pantry.

These stacked ovens are also in the pantry, just need to be put in their box to the left of this photo. They are just right around the corner from the cooktop. We ran out of walls in the kitchen and we also figured the heat can be in the pantry and not the kitchen. Plus, you don't have to keep as close of an eye on stuff in an oven as you do on a cooktop. These are also convection ovens, which I have been told are really nice. I will have to learn how to use them. Yes, we have a full size freezer and fridge in the pantry and a fridge/freezer in the kitchen. No more going to the basement for meat and drinks. YIPPEE!!!!
