Scary Cabin

The utility room desk/cabinets are finished.

Since our last installment, the counter top guy came up and measured for the top. We also installed the drawer handles. I found this handy little jig Euro Handle It which made installing the drawer pulls a breeze. Since we’re winding down on the remodel, I had taken some of my tools back home. Of course the tools I needed to do the cabinet trim work were among them.

A couple of weeks later the counter top guy was back to do the install. He does really good work and it turned out perfect.

I also remembered to bring up the air nailers and we were able to get the crown, toe kick and side trim installed. There was also some trim that mounts under the cabinets (to help hide the upper cabinet bottoms from view), but we were shorted by about 1 foot so that didn’t get installed.

We’re really happy with how the desk turned out.

The TODO list for the utility room is getting pretty short. We still need to finish painting the closet door and get a shelf/hanger rod installed and we want to put some shelves over the washer dryer.

Now that we’re not so busy actually remodeling we’ve been taking some time to explore the area a bit more. We took a day to go back to Big Bald Rock park, this time with the dogs since the temperatures were reasonable. This gave Sandie a chance to try out her new hiking booties. Turns out she’s not real fond of booties.

She’d rather just sit on the rock and enjoy the view.

We also took a day trip to the Honey Run covered bridge. It’s got a nice little park and the bridge is one of only 12 covered bridges left in California. It is also the only one with it’s type of construction. It was recently refurbished and looks great. About 5 miles from the bridge, in the small town of Centerville, there’s a museum that worth a look.
