Don had the great idea of getting the cabinets as done as we could before we bring them down. He flipped the hinges on the tallboy and the end cabinet, drilled the handle holes (with the excellent help from me), and put the hole in the countertop for the sink. Looks great!
Alyssa has her black bean bag chairs she wanted for her room in Arkansas. I saw some down there at the Walmart, but obviously couldn't buy them. I went looking for them here in Manitowoc, but everytime I looked, they didn't have black. Then one day I checked and more had come in - in black! Yay! She wants her room to be black, white, and purple. Much to her Dad's dismay, she's going to have a feature wall in purple. It's just paint. Easy to get rid of when the time comes. But in the mean time, it makes her very happy! We are also going to cut out some song lyrics with my Cricut out of vinyl and put those on the walls. She's excited about that.
The basement is a total disaster. There are building supplies everywhere. I'm also trying to stain and seal some doors in the middle of this mess. It's a challenge to say the least.
I have never claimed to be a cabinet maker or a woodworker or anything else having to do with drilling holes. I was trying to help mark the holes for the drawers on the cabinets for the bath in Arkansas. As you can see below, I didn't mark them very well. We're really hoping wood putty makes my "extra" hole invisible, but we may be putting plates on the back of the pulls. Oh well, makes it more personalized don't you think? OK, maybe not.
Alyssa had her spring concert this past Friday. The title of the concert was "Time Warp". She had a couple of special parts in it this time. She got to be "Ringo Starr" for the 60's Decade. No speaking involved, but she was WAY better than the real Ringo. She also got to sing with five others for the song "Imagine" for the 70's decade.
Right now the plumbing and the drywall is being completed by some contractors. When we get there in April there will be a big change for us to see. Can't wait!

Latest update on the AR house
Don and Eric have been in Cherokee Village for the last 5 days working on revamping our vacation home. They got the electrical done and the drywall up. The also got most of the subfloor in. Our neighbor down there, Todd, will be finishing up the plumbing. Then our other contractor, Russel, will finish up the drywall so its ready for us to prime and paint. Don took the following pictures - Eric working on the drywall and we have a daffodil in bloom. We won't see daffodils up here for severals months, yet. Makes it seem like forever until spring.
While down there, Eric took pictures. He said he won't let me have them till I update this blog. Now he owes me!
