Today, Worksite Dramz & then lots of work!

First of all welcome to our new Foyer!

Now the dirt. Yesterday, I caught the schmoo that Alan from Commonwealth was less than pleased about all the griping and moaning that Grandpa Munster from Hawkins Electric had been doing. I said to him that he sure did complain a lot, and Alan said, "There's no place for that here". I said, "Not in front of a customer?" Alan said," Not in front of anyone, if he's that unhappy with what he does he needs to find something else to do." Well said, that. So, today, Grandpa Munster was here at 6:40am sitting in his truck, and looking sullen. At 7:05am a very chipper man appeared, maybe late 30's extremely thin in a Jared Leto kinda way, and as I came downstairs he said, "HEY, My name's Tucker!", and I said, "Hey, My name's Clark!". He's got a real sense of humor, and I do not believe that he feeds on human blood, which is really a plus in my book.

Anyhoo, follow me and I'll show you wha'happen.

Tucker wired up the hood, and the under cabinet lighting today, it really works. Very nice.

Here it is with the under cab lighting on.

The Commonwealth guys added the surround to the fireplace today, it's a nickle plated hearth. The fireplace will be black slate.

Commonwealth changed the track lighting to be a parentheses instead of diagonal lines. Grandpa Munster had installed them as un-parallel lines and they were driving me crazy in their asymmetry. Alan and Steve fixed this one yesterday, the other one will be fixed tomorrow. Also, Melissa Chernick, Designer Extraordinaire at Commonwealth, had left explicit instructions that we DIDN'T WANT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IN THE CEILING FAN, but Grandpa Munster didn't read the instructions apparently. Tucker will fix it.

Here's the kitchen vista without a lot of the schmutz that was on the counters in the previous pic.

Glory Be! Real registers! The Argent guys installed the rest of their bit today with registers and filters.

Dining room register.

The finished Deck

The finished stairwell to the deck, as I mentioned previously, the deck is so painstakingly put-together that it could withstand an F5 tornado...direct hit...in fact, it would remain standing and the house would be splinters.

Wait, oh no, it's poor Ruby, the scullery maid. Everyone say hello.

We revealled today that we'd moved the moving date to August 7th. There is no way that we could do all the cleaning we will need to do before stuff has to be moved back into this space. Even if the occupancy inspection happens on Friday and it passes, they would have to dodge movers finishing up the last minute things. Not good. Better that they do what they need to do and then we move in.

S'all for now,
