The shop has been primed and painted a bright, crisp, clean, white!!  I told Mom that wasn't really a good color choice with Osker and Dad around!!  The saw was moved in and set up for cutting trim.

Kitchen countertops were measured and ordered this week.  It's the solid surface, Corian-type stuff.  Very difficult making an entire kitchen decision based on a 2" square.
We're working on dust abatement, so decided to prime the upstairs to seal the plaster, and tear the dusty paper off the support beams.  It's been taped up there for a year!!   Most of those doors are waiting for pockets which are waiting for flooring.

We found a used Subzero refrigerator on ebay.  It's the same model we had in Reno.  Dad picked it up in "Susan" the truck, and neighbor Jim helped muscle it into the house!
The "vineyard" is pruned!! This year we'll let the grapes grow so keep your fingers crossed for a first batch of wine!  Me and Osker have some good gopher holes going in the garden area!
And.....!!!!  we got kitchen cabinets!!  Yahoo!
The shelves and inserts will come later this week.  The cabinet doors and drawer fronts will come after the countertop is installed.

More than once when I've been romping around the yard I've ended up with a walnut shell stuck to a toe pad!!  They fit real good, but it doesn't feel so good.
Was hoping that shower grouting would be done, but need one more day.  Had to set the drain and the last few tiles around it yesterday.

Got the last 2 doors on the sawhorses getting finished.  Have started trim varnishing.  Dad thinks we should use the radial arm saw for cutting, so now we have to  paint the shop then move the saw, otherwise we'll have to walk to the barn for each cut! ugh!
