We are making steady progress on the restoration of our home. I wanted to post a photo of the current state of the kitchen so here it is. You will notice that we still need light fixtures too. I want at least one of them to have a ceiling fan but the others are not too sure of this. Fell free to share your comments in this or any other regard.

The office has been completed and we are moving things back into it this week, as well as working on plumbing in the bathroom. I purchased a new toilet and a new faucet for the sink as well as drain equipment for the tub. I replaced the water valves which were the friction type with a rubber washer with ball valves that should be easier to use, and should last just as long if not longer. The “baseboard” in the bathroom will be done with tile this time which should look really sharp. (We hope to also do the bathroom in the basement in a like manner.) I will post a photo of this work soon, when it is completed.

We really appreciate your encouragement and really hope to be back in our own home really soon. It has been a long summer away, but we really appreciate Grandma’s willingness to put us up. She is a gem. We just want to give her a little more peace and hope to do so soon.
