Saturday's 10 Cent Tour

Hello, Ladybug here.
Here's the deal... If you aren't interested in seeing the addition, this is going to be really boring for you. I took a bunch of pictures to show the progress that was made this week. We've had a LOT of progress, let me tell you!!

Welcome to the 10 Cent Tour. I will be happy to answer any and all of your questions to the best of my ability.

The Stairs: They came out terrific. I love the hand rail! The guy who built this is a master craftsman - picky, crunchy, very Vermont... Just the kind of person you want to do your stairs and handrails.
This is the upstairs railing to keep unsuspecting klutzes from falling off the edge of the loft and landing in the family room. Yup, this railing is for me!



The Kitchen:
This is the view from the family room. The corner cabinet will have glass in the door. The cabinets are simply gorgeous - If I do say so myself...
These pictures are of the tall cabinets Grambug has always dreamed of having.
The cabinet in the corner will have glass in the door so Grambug can display some of Auntie Bug's Pottery.

Laundry Room:
This is just the ultimate in storage solutions. Grambug has a ton of cabinets - they stretch all across the top from corner to corner... The lower cabinets are actually upper cabinets because the base cabinet would have been too wide. The counters will all be black granite - I can't even wait to see what they will look like!!

Lights: Ok - these are the kitchen lights and the only lights installed at the moment. The undercabinet lights are there, but I refuse to stand on my head to take a picture of those.. besides they are a bit boring... Not that these aren't...

Floors:
This is the view from my "new" office straight into the sunroom, and living room. The floor in this office really went down quite quickly. They did all of this yesterday.
Just so you can see that progress is being made upstairs, too, I took a quick shot of the master bedroom floor. Exciting, I know...

Bathroom:
This is Grandpa Bug's Sink... He got the one next to the toilet. I knew you'd all be absolutely thrilled to have that little tidbit of information...
Don't cha just love this faucet? Don't I have exquisite taste?? Yup, I know I do!! I'm so humble... I just adore this faucet!!! You know, I must be totally losing it if I'm this excited about a bathroom faucet.

The Deck:
It isn't finished, but at least it has been started. I guess we are waiting for an inspection... I dunno...

Pergola:
Stunning.... Just stunning... How do you like our columns? You know, we look like we have class now. Well, we always had class... Now we have column class.

The Big Picture:
The stones for the chimney are on the deck by the scaffolding. We are waiting for a cool day so Mr. Blister Butt can put those up. The straw was blown onto the re-graded "lake bed" yesterday. Hopefully the grass will grow quickly and our back yard area by the decks will be green. THAT will be quite a picture.


Thanks for taking my 10 cent tour. Any and all tips will be greatfully accepted and put towards the party we are going to have once this project has been completed and the Grandbugs have been installed. Nope, they don't move in - they get installed like everything else around here.

Have a great weekend!
