2 Sep - Pottery Barn Yellow is already up on the walls, and the paint crew is no where to be seen - told you they were good! |
If it's yellow, it must be the first floor ... that way I will be able to find my way around in the dark
|
Our Painting crews did a tremendous job reaching from the highest ceiling crevices ... |
... to the lowest corner
|
The house isn't completely yellow - someone put a sage green in the sunroom. |
My favorite room
|
The Great Room with great friends, ... no the old guy is not in the Foreign Legion |
So to recap laboring over labor day weekend ... Friday afternoon, 31 Aug, and Saturday morning 1 Sep - wholehouse painted with base of primer.

Yeah! Now that's what Labor Days are for. |

We hired the Northern Neck Tongue and Grove Team to professionaly lay our hardwood floors |
Normally we would have hired 3 Studs and Hammer, but one of the Studs was not available |
NNTG did a great job. The flooring comes to within 1 billionth of an inch of perfection |
The afternoon sunlight reflection off the Bruce Oak Floor is very bright

29-30 Sep
Kitchen Cabinets courtsey of 3 Studs & a Hammer |
Praying the job is about done |
Piece of cake, just need one little ole cut to allow for that joist hanger... |
"See, right here...the instructions say, 'Let Dave do it!'" |
Hmmm, This toe-kick is too short for that cabinet ... hold on... I'm sure its around here someplace. |
I think it would look better over on the other wall.... |
Master Electrician Kevin Neff of Coan Electric slipped in and wired the house while the Studs were hammering the cabinets into place |
Framers: $20,000
Plumbers: $10,000
