The giant pile of dirt from the excavation was spread around the base of the house to level the ground. Additional filler and gravel were brought in to make the driveway even with the entrance of the garage. We needed about 3 feet of fill to do that. (We had our own loading dock there for a while.)
Last week the exterior was power washed to ready it for painting. Colors were picked out and the paint was purchased-- and then it rained ever so slightly, but enough to delay the process. The painters were back for more prep work today and it looks as if we will have clear skies for a while now. The exterior will be getting new look soon.
Yesterday the front "stoop" was poured-- concrete aggregate and it looks great. The entryway is shaping up.
We have looked at the umpteenth version of the kitchen cabinets (with a very patient kitchen designer) and are just about finished with that selection.
We are waiting for the delivery of an exhaust fan system for the interior to complete the rough-in plumbing. Ken is pretty much finished with the interior wiring. Once those two jobs are completed, we can proceed with the insulation and sheetrock-- and then the interior work will begin.

Kathy - A friend of Ken's in Calgary on your business networking site , referred me to you in regards to your work related needs in Seattle. With 35 years of experience I may be able to help. Can you drop me an e-mail so we might communicate away from your blog ?
