Working on the Inside Now

Gary finally got the outside of the house done this week.  Thankfully he got it done before he passed out from the heat.  We are in the hottest time of year now and it makes working outside very difficult especially when there is very little shade. 

Lanai first day of ownership.

He finished the lanai this week spraying the ceiling, painting and getting the screen installed.  The whole lanai is now enclosed and the only thing left out there is the floor tile but that will have to wait til it gets a little cooler.

Lanai done this week. 

So Gary moved inside to the kitchen.  We had a "tray" ceiling in there which was very popular 20+ years ago but not so much any more.

I was all for working with it, Gary not so much.  So I lost that argument and the soffits all came down this week. 

Kitchen first day of ownership complete with original art.

We found cabinets for a very reasonable price at a place in Fort Myers called Cabinets to Go.  They don't have a huge selection but the price is so much better than Lowe's or Home Depot that we had to go with them.  They should be ready in about three weeks and Gary will go over to the east side of Florida to pick them up saving us even more money since we won't have a delivery charge.  More for me.  Not.

Kitchen torn completely apart including wall with original art.

The AC in the house is working so with that on and a ceiling fan too, Gary is in remodel heaven.  He is moving ceilings, walls and probably a floor or window, I won't know til I get there again with my camera.   At least it will be cooler.  Margaret
