Parlez-Vous Francais?

Chris installed our microwave for us today. But it's French! All the buttons and the message in the display screen were in French! I thought that was pretty strange to send a french microwave to this part of the country! But then, he pulled off the template for the french buttons and changed the setting to english! Ha ha. That's Chris for you! The trim kit they sent is too big, so they'll have to send us a different one. Actually, they did send us the right one but either the appliance people faxed the wrong info to the cabinet people or the cabinet people just built it wrong. But it's cheaper (and easier!) to just switch the trim kit than change the cupboards!
Nathan finished up all the baseboards now. And he covered up this heat vent in the walk-in closet. There was a beam in the way, so they could either drop the ceiling downstairs (which everyone would see) or they could build out this tiny little piece in the closet (which only Darcy & I would see). Seemed like a no-brainer to me! He also finished installing all the doors and closet doors, and put the hardware on the doors. No, this still is not the correct door color. It's supposed to be very dark brown one of these days. And this is a little heater we had to install in order to get the laundry tub in the garage. In case it gets cold enough to freeze the pipes. It's not likely to happen around here, but inspectors are kind of picky that way. And the rainscreen is all up and ready to be rocked. Should be happening Monday.

You do realize that the next time we come out for the summer that we will be staying with you right???? Just kidding.....only if we are invited. It looks great. Can't wait to see it.
