Serious business - Stained Glass window - transom windows

One step closer to having the Electrician and Air Condition hooked up and running.

We feel very accomplished this weekend. We finished all T&G wall boards up to the highest electrical outlet. The last few steps, before calling the Electrician in and Air Condition installer, will be installation of light fixtures and the island. 
We even installed 4 out of the 5 interior doors. Thanks to Youtube and THISISCarpentry. His video with a 5 step process worked great and by door number 4, we had it down!  They are square, plum and look great!


In the laundry room we opted for sheets of beadboard on the walls behind the washer/dryer, dog kennels and shelving. These will be painted white to brighten up the small room and give it a clean look. The 3 boards installed easily, even with the 5 cuts outs in the middle section. Measure twice - cut once!




We bought and delivered the kitchen island cabinets. After many hours of discussion, we decided on prefab cabinets from our Builders Warehouse with oak front drawers and doors. The three cabinets (2-30", 1-18") will give us about a 7' island. We are shopping for live edge cedar, or other hardwood, slab for the island countertop.

We changed our plan on the floor, instead of staining or painting we are going to install, can you guess?

 And the REAL fun begins. We have color!!  We have 4 beautiful stained glass windows. All four windows are going to be installed like transom windows over the 4 hallway doors. We did a dry fit of one window and it fit perfect with the custom framework!  This colorful antique window is over the laundry room door.


A little homesteading on the side.  Onion sets IN! More, much more to come.
