We knew we wanted to have a webpage to document our home build process. It's been a long journey and one we want to be able to look back on. After the project started going downhill we realized documenting it was must.

Appliances!
We ordered fridge and freezer from Judd and Black and are on backorder until late Sept. We found everything else at the Best Buy Outlet store (scratch and dent)...including a new TV which Mike installed tonight! Xander had fun trying out some video games on it.

Kitchen Backsplash
Got a good start on the kitchen backsplash. Once hvac finishes the vent for the hood fan I will continue the tile up. Kids enjoyed helping me place the river rocks individually . . Quite the puzzle!
We have lights!
Electrician came in and got most of the finish conpleted. He is short a few outlets because we requested brown to match the special order bronze plates.

Doors, woodstove pad, tile and live edge
While waiting in the floor we have been able to get some projects done without being in anyones way. We completed the live edge countertop in the powder room, the woodstove base including a mantle we made from random wood we had laying around and also the front door! We took a risk and stained the outside green! Its growing on me. We kept the inside more natural with just a coat of walnut danish oil. I have a couple more coats of clear protectants to apply...its quite a process. We also got the tile going in the kids bathroom before the toilet goes in.
