It is still not feeling as if spring has even thought about arriving. It must be rather close though, since the birds are chirping and we hear a woodpecker taking care of a tree in the woods near by. Rain is coming down rather hard today and it is gray and just a plain messy weekend. Some better weather is on the horizon for the week.
On the house front there are more things taking place. Our front stairs have been covered with stone and goes lovely with the siding. Take a peak.
In our new backyard, our deck has taken shape. It is a great size for us to barbecue and site with our fur babies.
Our kitchen cabinets should be getting delivered and installed in the next two weeks. John will have to get our farmhouse sink down to the house for fitting and installation. I can’t wait to see everything take shape and really see our large sink being placed in the kitchen.
Look what was a feature in HGTV Magazine……our front door style is the door of the month. Too cool!
looking good

Hi, Cynthia! The stone on the front porch is gorgeous! So exciting to see everything coming together! It’s amazing what a difference it makes once the sheetrock is up. So much easier to visualize than when it’s just the studs. 🙂
