Counter tops arrived from fabricator. We chose soapstone which is relatively unknown out here, but quite popular on the east coast / New England area.
Installed. You don't have to seal soapstone like you do granite, you just oil it and it turns a dark gray and shows the graining nicely.
One counter in the kitchen gets some maple butcher block
Had a nice harvest of watermelons
HVAC getting turned up. Putting in a 5 Ton SEER 16 variable speed blower with two stage compressor. This is the largest size residential unit you can put in and if we hadn't foam insulated the underside of the roof deck, we would have needed two units to handle this home.
Kitchen painted a nice yellow
Aidan lost one of his front teeth while here a couple of weeks ago
I changed one of the many drawers in the island to a door with electrical receptacle behind it !

Some company "dropped in last Saturday to see out progress - shout out to Veronica and Patty
Things were getting a bit hectic at the Houston home with Erin, Michael and family moving in once they sold their home so I decided to bring the Porsche up early to make room in the garage there.
This week the shower / tile installer will be here and the electricians should be finishing up. More pics soon.
