A Non-Texture Update

Our master bathroom cabinets have been delivered. I got a sneak peak of them at Lowe's the other day. We got a chocolate glaze on them to add some more dimension and we were pretty disappointed in the amount of glaze on our cabinets. We talked with the cabinet company and we have to send them pictures, but they may have to replace all the door fronts.

The kitchen cabinets get delivered on Monday which are the same style as the bathroom, so hopefully they have more glaze on those. The remaining cabinets are being delivered on Wednesday. It's really exciting to get the cabinets in, but I think I would be a lot more fun if we were ready for them.

We also have been talking with a contractor from the home show who is going to put up gutters and our deck for us. I think they are starting with the gutters next week and the deck the week after. Our house needs a lot of gutters...554 linear feet of them. The deck is going to look really cool too. We only wanted to have two pillars, but it needs to span over 20 feet. The contractor found a beam that would hold the weight and span that stretch. The two pillars are going to run up to the railing height and we are going to rock the pillars. We are going with a composite decking called Rhino Deck. I'm excited to see the finished product and I'll be sure to take lots of pictures because decking pictures are way more fun than texture pictures.

Speaking of texture, we are hoping to be done this weekend. We are so sick of taping and texture that we can't get motivated to do anything at the house right now. We did the great room ceiling last night and today we just need to do the bathrooms and a couple more stretches of walls. Then we have to do a quick sand of all the textured walls so it isn't so scratchy then it is time for a major cleanup before we paint. There is so much dust and dried clumps of mud on the floor.

We think painting will take at least a week between priming coats and then actual colors. We checked out the cost of renting a sprayer and it is going to be cheaper to buy one. We are behind the original schedule that I put together, but I had us finishing before July, so I think we will still be on track to move in for early July.
