Week 7 report

The spots that are still primer-white we intentionally didn’t paint, becuase they’ll have cabinets in front of them and we didn’t want to waste the effort.  The yellow is a nice sunny color and we think it will look very nice with the other elements of the kitchen. The reddish color here is browner in person. It’s a nice complement to the yellow, adding some depth and delineating the more peripheral aspects of the room (eat-in table, mail sorter, charging station, etc.).  Both colors need a second coat, which we plan to do in the morning.  We wanted to get the bulk of the painting done before the cabinets and the floor go in, so we don’t need to be as careful about drips or cutting-in against brand new cabinets. In preparation for today’s work, I also installed the in-ceiling speakers: appropriate music helped the task quite a bit.

Second event… we have the permit for the sunroom portion of the project.  We expect at least some progress toward new footings this coming week, with major framing to commence the week of Memorial Day.

Third event… the cabinets were delivered this morning.  They’re camping out in our garage this coming week while the flooring goes in, and are expected to be installed the week of Memorial Day.  Here they all are, taking up our entire garage.

And here’s the custom mail sorter we had made.  The shelves on the right-hand side are adjustable, stacked together as you see here for shipping; in the final configuration we anticipate having 6 slots on the right.

See my Project 365 entry for today for another representative cabinet.
