Now that we have countertops Joanna was able to tackle the project of sorting and storing away all the kitchen gifts from the wedding.
Like most everything else in the house we spent quite a bit of time deciding on a final Corian color, sink style and faucet. Now that they are all in we're pretty happy with our choices which is good. Up to this point I've only mounted the faucet so I still need to hook it up to the water and plumb the drains. Let's hope that's easy.
Socket and light switch have both been moved in th hallway - all the sockets are about 12 inches higher and light switches 6 inches lower. and some in entirely different places altogether - it's very confusing when you walk in, in the dark with no idea where they've been put :D
The water main enters the house, goes past the hot water heater to the main valve, through the meter, past the regulator and through the wall. On the other side of the wall it goes up to the ceiling, splits, and comes back to the hot water heater.
I suppose it could be worse.
The regulator is supposed to, of course, regulate the water pressure so that high pressure does not blow out gaskets and such in faucets and toilets. The maximum pressure allowed by code is 80psi.
Ours was measured at 160psi. The plumber had never seen it that high and couldn't understand how the rest of our plumbing had been able to survive.
We have this ridiculous old concrete slab in our side yard -- it's where the old landing for a stairway used to be (this has been moved since the house was renovated).
Anyway, it's a huge tripping hazard in the dark and when I try to move trash cans in and out. I figure it's time to remove it. I rented a demolition hammer from Home Depot and went to work. That thing is FUN.
We painted ALL DAY on Saturday - it always takes long than you think its going to. Now to convince my husband to get rid of the dingy old wallpaper :-)

In the small bathroom. I posted a photo a while back when it was just a hole in the house, so here's the final product.
this is the unfiished portion of our basement with our new lights we put in this weekend and the washer and dryer we got a few weeks ago.
Modern luxury interior design Dubai is the ultimate goal of every interior designer, as it provides a glimpse into the future. The city's skyline offers a vision to all about the direction of their lives. From the top of the world to the ground, and everywhere in between, there is a plethora of new places to explore and experience in Dubai. It is a city that is changing constantly and there are always plenty to do.
The original outlet was for an electric stove. I replaced it with the type that's used for electric dryers.
The vent got replaced next.

Joanna jumped in help with the sponging of the grout after I put it down. It really sped along our work.
Taking a break from the stalled familyroom project and unstarted spare bathroom project to clean out and spruce up the spare bedroom/craftroom. Never can have too many things going on at once, right?
The color is Valspar "Mountain Lake", which is close to the color of the clock, light fixture, new curtains, and dried hydrangea wallhanging. This is the only wall getting this color.
After: View of finished basement living room area with tile flooring and 16 feet of custom built-in bookcases. Hidden track lighting and recessed lights add very nice lighting effects!

The dining room walls are now a soothing butter color.
These pictures make it look like I was doing nothing and she was doing all the work. When in reality I was doing at least 20% of the work.
This is what it looked like when we viewed the house before we bought it. Notice the awesome wallpaper. *gag*
The first step in rebuiilding the wall is cleaning the porch, removing the overgrowth of ivy and pulling the remains of the wall out of the hillside.

The adhesive took a little getting use to when putting it down on the concrete board. It was a little bit heavier and thicker than I anticipated so it took some effort to apply it just right....well, as right as someone without experience can judge.
We bought these nifty spacers that you either place along the sides of the tiles or at the corners to keep the tiles properly spaced and square. I think that $3 spent really paid off.
I also forgot how much this flooring work kills my knees and back so after laying the first 2 rows I grabbed rolling garden stool which helped a bit.
