Our trim carpenter called this morning and was unable to make it to Zelda to start work because of the sleet and snow coming down in Shelby, NC. The bad weather did not arrive at Zelda till midmorning and did not hit a high intensity until mid afternoon. We currenlty have about three (3) inches of sleet and ice on the ground and roads. I just heard the snow plow drive down the road so it looks like a trip to get pizza is back on the agenda.Wednesday we drove to Charlotte, NC and obtain a new front door with side lights at the Habitat for Humanity Store. That will be the first item that we have the trim carpenter install once he arrives on site. Brent has installed about 90% of the black marble in the foyer. He did not install the last three (3) feet to the door incase there is damage to the subfloor and new framing is required. Lynn has grouted on the tile and it looks great. Jennifer has painted the hall closet door, the refurbished fireplace mantle for the keeping room and trim pieces. Jessica has attacked the stairway and has been painting some of the steps and risers.
Here is a picture of Lynn installing the grout between the marble. It was like black ink.
We also have put down the frame work for the hearth in the keeping room and the girls painted the fireplace mantel which be installed in the master bedroom sitting area. Our electrican has showed up the past few days, including today, and is almost finished installing the undercabinet lighting.
Below are more pictures of the marble foyer, Cookie helping to spread the grout and Jennifer painting the foyer coat closet door (the door beneath the stairs).
