We're Still Working on the Inside

You'll notice that I last posted in December, when I said it was time to turn our attention to the inside of the addition. I haven't added any details since then because we really haven't accomplished much that is visible to our readers. Mike was sidelined for several weeks in the spring due to breaking his leg during a hockey game. He did manage to climb up the ladder a few times in his aircast while I nervously stood below, ready to catch him.

We're finally back on track and hoping to finish the room by the end of some year. (You'll notice I don't indicate which one.)

As I am writing this post, Mike and Steve are wiring. Our next inspection will focus on the electrical work in the addition (we recently passed the plumbing inspection.)

After months of indecision and testing out a cardboard mock up, we purchased a hood for above the stove. It's quite sleek, I must say, although not nearly as attractive as its cardboard predecessor. The top portion will eventually be encased in stainless steel.

A couple of weeks ago, Mike and Steve finished tearing out the last of the old ceiling.

And that's where we are. Please keep your fingers crossed for us as we prep for the next inspection!
