The kitchen is coming together nicely...

The stove with microwave hood on right and the dishwasher under the counter to the left. Okay so you have to visualize here!

The sink...and yes all the appliances are still sitting in those boxes in the dining room. Can't wait to get them all installed!

The Island with our Pot Rack over it!!!

Our first look at the counters and kitchen island...

It was absolutely pouring rain the entire day. And the lighting for these shots was very poor. This is a pic of the island from the living room.

This is a shot of the island from inside the kitchen.

The Overhead garage doors...

The first one is installed. This a very cold nasty day...very windy...no sunshine and very damp.

Now they both are finished!!!

And yes...(becasue I know someone is going to ask...LOL) the white doors are going to be painted the same color red as the window trim!

The chimney and roof (continued...)

Lee working on the roof cap...

Guess Richard and Lee aren't afraid of heights!

Our first SNOWFALL...(10-29-08)

We now take time out from our regular blogging to show pics of our first snowfall in Nicholville.

We barely made it up the driveway. We had a good 12 inches!

From the driveway looking back to the meadow and road...

THE HOLE...

Yep...there's a hole in my roof...

And they laid the next course...

The chimney gets taller...

Okay we've hit the roof...now what???

Make a hole you say??? In my roof??? I'm not sure I can watch this...

That's Richard preparing to make the first cut. And yes...I'm going to have a hole in my roof. But I'm assured it will only be for a day...or two...

It's a good thing I know Richard and Mike are perfectionists and I trust them, because let me tell you...it was very unsettling to see my wonderful roof suddenly have a hole!
