We’re mostly down to the details now, with only a few large items still unfinished.

Knobs and pulls have been installed in the laundry and master bath. We went with simple, nickel satin knobs all around, as opposed to more ornate hardware.

In the accessible shower, all of the controls for the handheld shower have now been installed. Drilling through the brand new tile to mount the fixtures is nerve-wracking for the plumber!

Chad from Wesson (our builder) spent much of his day building the window seat at the end of the master suite hallway. It has a hatch in the top so we can use the interior for storage. Lynda will be making a cushion for the seat.

The guys also completed repairs on a crack in the ceiling of the quilt studio and thoroughly cleaned up the areas of new construction, all in preparation for the return of the painters later this week.

In addition, the new toilet in the guest bathroom is now functional, replacing the old one which had seen better days.

The new ceiling medallions are now on hand so the electrician can install the replacement ceiling fixtures in the living room.

We are awaiting delivery of two pocket doors for the addition. The first two that we received were warped, so new ones had to be ordered.
