Dry Wall Complete, Cabinet Installation Starts

Robert Shamburger and his son Beau from RS Superior Cabinets were onsite Tuesday afternoon to install the cabinets throughout the house. These beautiful custom cabinets were designed in the craftsman style to complement the rest of the house design. Made of beech, they are a beautiful smooth wood that will take staining very well.

The dry wall is complete as is the exterior finishing, with the exception of the soffits that have to be redone from the damage the Tyvek did in Hurricane Gustav. Apparently heavy paper being wind-whipped at 91 miles an hour causes paint to flake off, I believe Tyvek-blasting is the technical term.

We were given a gift on the exterior finishing in that there was a slight bit of confusion over the color we chose and what was listed on the filing plan of the house from which we chose the color. The result is that on the original paint attempt we got a gray color instead of the green color we wanted. Well, we decided to use the gray color as an accent around the windows and on the boarder on the front. I saw it for the first time yesterday and it looks awesome. Pictures are coming soon, but I need to go take them in the morning as the afternoon sun (at least by the time I get there each day) detracts from the detail and finish.

Things are really rolling along. Cabinets will be finished this week, then doors get installed the house really starts to look finished. Check out the slideshow link for more pictures!
