Pretty Kitchen

Fire Update: It is now 44% contained. The weather today was a bit breezy, which greatly improved our air quality. We were able to see the shoreline out the window again and very little ash rained down today. It seems like the fire didn't completely behave itself today, which added to the concerns of those down in South Lake Tahoe. The real concern is that the fire will move east (away from us) which could endanger that community. I am still convinced that this fire does not threaten us. Geography and wind direction are on our side.

Now it is time to start catching up on all the house pictures that I took, but wasn't able to post until DSL came back. The tile guys came to finally finish the kitchen tile. The accent tiles finally came in and they are pretty. I really like the way it all turned out.
here's a close up of the tile:

The painters are coming tomorrow to finish painting. They plan to repaint our bedroom and bath, and touch up a bunch of stuff. Painting our bedroom will be a big step. We have been waiting for this, before we settle in. So, after tomorrow we can do just that. Really settle in.

After paint, we still need the electricians to finish their thing. We are also waiting for our front door and some of the door hardware. We passed inspection for everything except the fireplace. We have to install the glass doors on it for code. I drove down to South Shore last week (right next to where the fire is now) and picked up the glass, so we will probably get that done in the next few days. It is a good thing I got it last week, because now the road is closed!
