Seeing it's been over a month since we've checked-in with you all, here is a simplified pictorial version of what has been going on with the house renovation, beginning with the move:
 |
| According to this Chinese calendar page, July 28th was deemed a good day to move--and apparently, get a hair cut. So we took this as a good sign and moved on the 28th. |
 |
| Yes, they were our moving crew. Nice guys; move took 8.5 hours, and every inch of the truck... | |
|
 |
| First floor, middle room, before move... |
 |
| After move... |
 |
| Polly enjoys the yard in the AM, Saturday, July 30, 2011, two days after the move. Notice Verizon came in and relocated the diagonal wires--well the most offensive ones anyway... |
 |
| Framing comes along slowly upstairs; all walls which need to be re-built are now down. |
 |
| First we clamped off the ceiling supports... |
 |
| Then we tacked the true 2"X3" pieces together. Many were twisted; we did our best to try and true them up. Thanks Nelson for the help! |
 |
| We went with Kraftmaid (an Elkay company) cabinets from Lowes for the kitchen. We are still deciding on the color. More on the decision to use Lowes in a later post. |
|
 |
| Polly meets with Jim, the Lowes kitchen specialist. For nearly THREE HOURS! |
