More progress on the built-ins this weekend!  We got the shelves painted (last coat) so we can install them tomorrow.  We put in the 5 drawers that were finished (yea – storage!!!).  Ryan hooked up the final speaker wires and we ran a new wire for the subwoofer that is hiding behind the couch.  All of the electronics are hooked up and wires are run appropriately.  Ryan also drilled a hole in the console of our couch and we installed a surge protector in the console so we have easy access to outlets for our laptops and phones!

Outlets in our couch!

Speaker wires

Speakers are wired in the top and bottom of the bookshelves.

The cabinet with doors has 3 finished drawers installed and the 2 drawer cabinet is baby stuff!

Almost done!

We still have 5 drawers to finish (the shellac goes fast, but they need a first pass of good sanding first).  Then Ryan has to make/install doors on the built-ins – he has 1 set of doors almost done and ready for paint but that leaves 3 more sets.  We still have to finish the doors to the room and the closet itself.  I can’t wait to move our dvds into the built-ins and put some things up on the bookshelves and walls!

This week the weather is supposed to be great, which is good because this is Ryan’s one week to get the last window installed and all the siding up!  By himself.  Hopefully this works out!
