Stair Tread Staining

The Oak stair treads, balusters, and newels are being stained to match the hardwood flooring...

Fix Countertop and Elec Island

The countertop needed to be cut a little farther back so the cooktop could sit farther in, looks better now...

Also, the electrician was out to pull the wire for the hood which will be installed soon before backsplash tile.  While he was at it, he put an outlet in our island...

And another front of house pic...

Shoe Molding

Not all that exciting, but our trim guy put white shoe molding over all rooms with tile.  Our flooring guy will put shoe molding over all hardwoods to match color later...

And another shot of the front of the house...

Cooktop Granite

The granite needed to be cut to fit the cooktop projection.  The cooktop isn't actually installed yet, but just set in place after the granite was cut...

The exterior stone was also completed today.  We still need to use stain toner for the doors and cedar columns to darken them and match the veneer coloring...

Basement Stairs

Not as fancy, but more functional stairway into unfinished basement...

Cut Down Another Oak

To make room for our driveway and landscaping, another big oak had to come down.  This time it was a little harder and nerve racking given it was so close to the house :)

Stair Parts

Stair parts are being installed...

And crown molding is being installed...
