A little progress .. butcher block

DSCN1070.JPG

The butcher block for the island and bar top arrived early this week. G opened the crates today .. and woola! The walnut is a little red, but very purty. The guy did exactly the opposite and put the grain the long way, instead of the short way so the seam is noticeable. I took the photo from the kitchen looking towards the liv/din room. You can see the pile of boxes, still. We are waiting on him to fix the upper cab and finish the corners, and counter. Contractor has made so little progress for the last four week that G had a really 'nice' chat with him. We will see if that helped.

Finally, I've have this new hosting platform and it's taken me 6 weeks between niggling house projects/moving in and working through the 'net security to get off the dependencies with my servers and actually upload content directly to the site. Here is one of the first images when we moved in, it's not sized correctly since I'm testing that my process actually works. The last 6 weeks of photos will be posted soon.
