End of of Week Three!

Scott had a short week last week as the weather was bad on Monday for turning off the heat and getting it back up and running when it was so cold outside.  Tuesday this was accomplished.  Thank goodness! ;-)  Friday he had some doctors visits so didn't work long.  Sad to hear that the doctor suggested cutting off his head but glad he's not taking his advice!


Wednesday and Thursday were carpentry days.  Scott set the island and worked on the
 floor where we cut off the elevation in preparation for the bar.  I am happy with how we have
recycled the existing cabinets into the island (the whole island is made of the old existing cabinets) and the bar.  This not only saved a ton of money but also saved space in the landfill!

The island is set! Not the vinyl is all gone!
 Scott also set the bar and is working on how to get that secured.
This is the bar (other side sitting area) and the new floor

The bar will be the same color as the island and have cabinets and a thick wood counter

The step will continue to the end of the bar widening it up and making it more appropriate
for the space.


More exciting than that is the countertop that was ordered!  I got my granite!  


It will be about 6 weeks before I actually see it in my kitchen but I still love it all the same!  Greg at Lowes again rocked this deal!  They are showing me the slab of granite it's being cut from so I know exactly what it will look like before they cut it.  Granite can vary in the colors and veins so its best to know what you are going to get before they cut and install it!


David and I took a break and went to eat at this awesome chicken restaurant in Harrisonburg called Chicken Pollo which is a Peruvian style restaurant.  Its kind of a dive but oh so yummy!

We ordered a whole chicken, yuca, beans and plantains   A+

Today I ordered the pop up outlet for the bar.  The kids think this is sooo cool! 
 They can't wait to have a charging station!


 Scott is at the house working on securing the bar and building the wider step, and I went out to Lowes with David.  Steve from Lowes gave us a great deal on the hardwood floors so I went ahead and ordered all of the flooring for the first level of the house.  1460q feet of it.  Bedrooms are carpet.  Bathrooms will be tile.  It probably wont be installed everywhere right away but at least it will match when it does get installed!  I love it!  Its black walnut wide plank.  I need to get a picture!  And I need a sugar daddy! $$$
