Some great progress on the house this weekend.  Ryan has been working on the built-ins in my office/sewing room (I’m so excited!).  The base cabinet pieces are now done.

The bases were done last weekend

This one even has baseboard around it

And the right one – just needs baseboard.

Note the wires – we had to move the outlet that would have been down below/behind the cabinet.  Luckily the wires are long enough that they can just be re-located up in the bookcases that will be on top – we can’t put the boxes in because they will go directly into the bookcase backs so for now – loose wires.  (Electricity is off to this room of course).

And while ryan did that his dad worked on our back yard/lake front area with his tractor!  It looks amazing.  It’s even better today after 2 more days doing cleanup and raking it out.

This was Monday progress

Current progress

And separately Mark has also been starting the excavation that will allow us to put an entry to the basement on the side of the house.  We planned on getting a back hoe but so far this has been working pretty well 🙂
