Busy Busy!

Not much to write today but many things are happening!

FiOS is installed and operational.
All of our new kitchen appliances were delivered.
The HUGE roman shower is AWESOME!
The ceiling fan in the GR is installed.
The ceiling fan in the master bedroom is installed.
The mailbox is up.
The driveway has been dug/expanded and stone put down.
I installed conduit under the driveway in case we ever switch to cable rather than FiOS.
I ran the gutter drainage under the stone of the driveway with PVC.
Fridge is fully functional.
Microwave swapped out.
Included stove is removed and we'll hook up the new range later today.

Most importantly: Central Air Conditioning is being installed as I write this post!!!

Still on the hunt for some counter height stools for the island.

Goals for this weekend:
-Move the big stuff (furniture, washer dryer) from our old house
-Install garage door opener on primary door
-Swap in new dishwasher

"Before" shot of the kitchen with all of the included appliances.

We installed the new microwave last night!

Fantastic views last night.  Our community has no street lights and the sky was BRIGHT!

Found this at Home Depot.  Considering putting 2 or 3 in the garage to replace the junk included fixtures.

  2. William,
    Just some advice from an old carpenter, please don't take it the wrong way. If those are going to be your permanent steps in the back or if you are going to leave them through the winter I would suggest dropping the first step so when the ground freezes it doesn't force the steps up into the bottom of the threshold it will make the door stick. also it invites water to seep under the threshold if the snow melts on it on the stair causing an ice dam. no matter how well it is flashed water will find its way in under the threshold. There should be at least two inches between the bottom of the threshold and the top of the stair tread and I would suggest it be riser height to avoid snow issues especially in good old western NY..
