So Much is Happening!

The painters have been lacquering the trim. They have finished the first floor and most of the upper floor. In the picture below, you can see where they stopped at the landing. The color of the alder is nice and rich with the finish.
The kitchen appliances arrived on schedule. The fridge, oven, microwave and range have been installed.The microwave drawer is pretty cool. It is great because it doesn't take up above counter space. It opens up like a big drawer and the food is placed in from above.
The electricians have been busy. We got some of these:
and some of these:
And we got our hot water heater today! When they were done with that, the plumbers turned toward the toilets! Unfortunately, the toilets are more complicated than most, so they didn't actually get one installed today. I do have high hopes that I we will have toilets by the time we move in.

Neat microwave - I've never seen one like that. Good call on the flat light switches, they're so much nicer than the old-school ones!
