6/22/12 - Move in day

We officially moved into our Danby house on 6/22.  Its been insane between moving and getting the downtown house ready for the renters that are coming July 10th.

5/29/12 - Danby house test run

The four of us spent all of memorial day weekend at the Danby house.  Everything went really well, the kids loved it and only had a couple fights and we also got a bunch of work done.  We also had our first potluck with 4 families and it wasn't crowed at all.

5/29/12 - Wood railing up stairs

Kristin wanted wood/log railings around the stair opening and on the balcony.  I completed the stair railing this weekend using ash from our forest.  Interesting note:  I learned this skill while working for a log home company in Steamboat Springs CO.  So those 2 years of ski bumming were not completely with out education.  These railings will continue around the rest of the balcony.

5/29/12 - Kitchen Update

The kitchen is nearly complete.  Kristin tiled the counter top and back splash and I installed the sink along with the butcher block counter tops.  I also installed a custom designed kitchen fan and Kristin constructed the shelving around it and a plywood housing for the ducting.  We will be removing the blue protective cabinet coverings this weekend.  Only a couple punch list items and we can call the kitchen done!

Tiled portion of the counter top (at 38 inches) the butcher block portion (at 36 inches)

5/29/12 - Built-in's complete (mostly)

Kristin has finished up most of the built-in shelving and cabinets.  

Additional bench added

More mudroom shelving.

4/30/12 - Built-ins and general update

I apologize for such a long gap since our last post.  Much has been done:  Water heater installed, mudroom tiled and grouted, bath room tiled and grouted, Kitchen almost completed, and work on built-ins.  We also had our well water tested and it passed with flying colors.

Its important to note that Kristin has taken on the job of building and installing all the cubbies, shelving, and benches.  As you can see from the picture below the built-in are simple but beautiful and really fit into the theme of the house.  I never knew Kristin was such a good carpenter.  

Mudroom with cubbies, shelf, and coat hooks.  Note tile at edge of card board.

Boys room shelving and closet.

Bathroom sink with built-in shelving and hanging light.

First component of a 3 component bench system for dining area.  The other 2 components will be along the far wall.

Kitchen mostly put together.  Cabinets will be white, the blue is a protective film.  Note ceiling fan at right.
