There were three projects all going on at once today.
The painters were painting the outside. Inside we like the bolder colors but outside we pretty much stayed with the very neutral color that it was before.

| The garage door is looking much better while the new siding upstairs is no longer that hardie board yellow. |

Inside, Andy assembled all 15 of the wall cabinets and the final base cabinet. We still need a couple more base cabinets and a couple horizontal wall cabinets for the sunroom. Andy has to make a trip soon to IKEA.
 |
| A whole lotta cabinets waiting to be installed. Andy hired RHD's carpenter for Thursday to help get these installed quickly. Hopefully they can finish these in one day. |
The big thing for today was the stairs. We finally have a real banister and real treads. Of course, they need to be stained and finished and tile put on the risers.

| Looks like a real staircase now.. well, almost. |
Looks like it's gonna be a lot of activity on Thursday as we rush to get enough finished to host our Swiss guests that start arriving on Saturday. Andy, Kip and Courts will get the range and dishwasher out of storage plus maybe a dining table. The concrete guys are supposed to show up, for the third time this week, and at least take care of the final foundation items inside and start working on the additional pool decking. The plumber is supposed to show up and install water and gas valves. The HVAC guys should be out to turn on the upstairs A/C. The kitchen cabinets will be installed. Monica has Thursday off and will get things ready for the cleaning on Friday.
At some point before Saturday, Andy will install a temporary plywood counter top and hook up the sink, dishwasher, range and fridge. Then we will at least have a functional if not finished kitchen for when our first Swiss guests arrive late Saturday afternoon.
