DAY 185: My Kitchen Table

I have been working through color schemes.  You would think that with my background in art this would be a simple thing.  There are WAY too many choices.  Once we decide on colors I will get samples and paint the styrofoam outside for a color test run.  I've also been meeting with cabinet makers.  Once again, WAY too many choices.  We are going with a shaker style cupboard.  Simple, straight lines.  That's what we're all about.

DAY 182: Gas Line and Clean-Up!

Another Saturday filled with work at our concrete home!  While the girls worked on clean-up Brent and Cole worked on installing the gas line. 

 I wish I would have taken a picture when they started...the pipe is now inside the wall.  Brent had to rent a drill to drill through the concrete.  Then he and Cole worked on pushing the pipe into the house. That took a while.  Brent is threading the pipe in this photo:

 Brent did a lot of cutting and threading pipe:

The black line (the L shape) on the exterior of the house is the gas line.  It was an all day project for Brent and Cole. 

 Cole worked on sealing the concrete cracks in the garage.

 Subway lunch break!  We have spent most of our lunch money at Subway.  We especially love it when they have the $5/00 footlong deal on every sandwich for a month! 

 The girls did lots of cleaning-up.  We almost filled the trailer.
