Unsure

I have mixed feelings about successfully applying a software update to our thermostat...

A hall, a closet, and a mirror

We got a coat of paint on the hall outside the laundry room and the under stair closet. The closet is probably done, but the hall will get another coat on the walls. We also took some time to install one of the mirrors that came in this week. Despite the pandemic we are still able to make steps forward. It feels nice getting more of the finish work done.

On sort of a tangent

We are in a holding pattern waiting for the front door to arrive so that we can finish the last details and install it. This allowed us to take care of a lot of small unfinished projects like installing switches, light fixtures, and the faucet in one of the bathrooms.

It felt good to use up a lot of the odds and ends we had purchased. Oh yeah, if you ever buy a Kohler faucet, splurge and buy the metal drain kit. The plastic one that Kohler provides in the faucet kit will break and leak if you look at it wrong. In contrast, their metal drain kit is wonderful and so much easier to work with. It is money well spent. 

Front door progress

Since wrapping the master bathroom counter prep and the kitchen window trim we moved onto prep to actually getting the real front door installed. The framing contractor that we hired did not frame the rough opening to a size that matches any available door so I started framing in the opening a bit to fit the door we decided on. We ordered the door on Saturday and hopefully will have it arrive around when we are ready to install it. Once the door is in and trimmed we can move forward with the final bits of the front of the house. It will do a lot to help the curb appeal and we are looking forward to having that step done.
