Making Mud

Mudding and skim-coating was the plan today. The insulation is in and the walls are closed, so come next week we'll start seeing cabinets. Tuesday we take measurements for a very exciting component of the kitchen, hopefully to be installed on Thursday.

But now I'm getting ahead of myself -- you'll see all that stuff eventually. In this episode, we see some pretty flowers, say goodbye to an old friend, and wonder at the mysterious pile of boxes.

  1. Aha, the rare and much-envied built-in empotrar encastree. I'd know it anywhere.
    And ... "whither willst"?????

  2. You can make some serious food articles with a solid empotrar encastree.

  3. Wow, now I can totally picture the billiard table in the right corner and the hammock over on the left. I couldn't really picture it until everything was pulled out, but your plan to bring the grill in and do all your cooking with propane is coming together.

  4. I knew it would make more sense with these pictures. The tiki lights were delivered this weekend.

  5. Can't wait to get wet, then. Mojitos, perhaps?

  6. Perfect for the weather we've been having.

    Cabinet bases were going in when I left this morning. Very exciting.
