Cabinets and Ceilings

A lot of what we have been doing lately doesn't show - rewiring all of the old part of the house and closing up holes so someday we can turn on the heat! It's been 10 degrees several nights this week and we're huddled by the fireplace most of the time. We did manage to get some work done in the kitchen. Tom and Donnie spent four days on ladders installing the tin ceiling.

Gary and his helpers brought the kitchen cabinets that he has been building in his workshop.

We moved the poor refrigerator for what I hope is the last time!

Steve installed can lights around the ceiling.

The cabinets will have beaded board fronts eventually and there will be an island in the middle of the kitchen with an old pot rack above it (all after the floors are finished).

We drove to Raleigh and bought an old sink that we found on Craig's List.  It will be installed as soon as we get countertops.  The next step will be to refinish the floors but we have to move everything out of the house to do that.  In the meantime, since the house is such a mess, we plan to put our Christmas tree outside and decorate it for the birds.  Grandkids will be here this week-end to help.

Merry Christmas from the farm!
