Day 246

May 10, 2004

The kitchen countertops were supposed to be installed today, but they were delayed in fabrication.  We are rescheduled for tomorrow.

So, we are back to painting.  We finally picked a color for the front bathroom.  It is a lovely shade of brown called dirty diaper.  First coat is complete.

 

   
  Note 05/05/04:  This is the door we were ordering from Spain, but the U.S. importer has changed and we are not sure of the new company.  We are trying to decide about getting these doors for the kitchen and the multi-purpose room.
