Long Overdue House Update

Well, I thought I would take a moment to update everyone on the latest progress with the house. In reviewing the photo's that I've taken, I realized that there are some things I don't have documented, such as the rock retaining wall. I guess that can be another post later. What I can show you is what is happening since my last update. In the photo below, the septic tank has been set and is ready for inspection. It has since been covered up and the drain field installed.


Another major accomplishment is the drilling of the well. It can be seen in the following photo. It is the little white thing sticking up from the ground. We achieved a flow of 55 gal per minute, which is wonderful.



I have been working diligently on installing the laminate wood flooring. We picked a color called Antique Cherry and ran it in both the kid's bedrooms, the living room and kitchen areas. It really looks good and went down very well.



Another exciting addition to the house is the kitchen cabinets! In this picture, we had just finished the first day of installation, so there is quite a bit of trim and such that has not been applied. We are really pleased with the natural maple coloring in contrast to the wood floor and wall color.
