keeping on, keeping on

This past week there really wasn't anything major that happened, just a lot of small detail work and finishing. Most all of the baseboard molding is in and painted (minus the powder room for some reason.) This coming week we should see all of the shoe molding going down which will finish off the moldings.

The mantel finally came in on Friday after it was initially shipped damaged so a new one was overnighted. It isn't going to be anything too outrageous, just a simple ~9' x 10" x 1 1/2" slab of white oak to match the floors. Once that is installed this week, the mason can finish off the stone work on the fireplace (check off another thing on the list.)

The light in the dining room got moved this week as well. This was a slight miscalculation in how we wanted the light positioned. We have left some space on the one end of the room for a future built in china cabinet, but we forgot the need for a walkway on the opposite side of the room. Result, the light was too far to one side. Now moved we should hopefully be all set.
