Day 47 – 55
Emilie Phillips
On our end, there has been lots of shopping. We’ve picked out kitchen cabinets, countertops (not ordered yet), kitchen sink (arrived), some lights (ordered), wood stove (not ordered yet because the local store has it in stock), and flooring type at least to enough detail that our contractor can go price shopping. We’ve additionally been shopping for appliances, the rest of the lights, hot tub, generator, and probably more that I can’t remember. And there’s still plenty more that we have to do.
As far as house progress:
Doors and bath tubs arrived

All interior partitions are done. We did give up on nice bedroom built ins, so we are getting a small closet in every room and leaving space for cabinets later.

As yet unphotographed is the electrical wiring. Downstairs is at least part way roughed in.
Did you end up with any Ikea interior design products? I vaguely remember you were talking about them for counter-tops or something, I think, a long time ago.
