Some Sod & Appliances

Progress on the house slowed down a tad bit just before Christmas but there's still been some happy action!  

Our two Shumard Oak trees are in, 

one on each side of the house.

Some of our neighbors have gotten three of four trees but we were only offered two. We're not sure why but that's okay.  We were only able to select from four trees and were not thrilled by the choices. We've planned all along to add more trees anyway and we will.

They have started putting the sod down too. It's close to the same color of the dirt behind it but you may be able to see the little bit of sod that's in these two photos.  

Our super helpful and observant neighbors tell us that a front loader dropped them off so we're pretty sure they were leftover from another house. That means we were next on the sod list.  

Sod list?  

It doesn't sound like a list that 

one would want to be on, 

does it?    

We're fine 'n dandy with it!

Very much to our delight though is that our appliances have been gently placed into their designated homes.

Here's the dishwasher installed in the island 

next to it's teammate, the farmhouse sink.

Will there ever be technology that 

rinses the dishes , 

moves them to the dishwasher, 

and starts it? 

A girl can dream, 

can't she?

 

The fridge and two wall ovens.  

Oh my, those ovens fill me with joy!

Our RV oven doesn't maintain 

heat properly so we quit using  

it about a year ago.

The Gas over Glass Stove.

Be still my heart!

Stove and Hood.

As you can see, above the hood, 

there's some venting work to be done yet.

With the addition of our new appliances, 

it is really starting to look like home.

In a previous post, I commented that I'd post some better photos of the master bath's curbless shower. 

Here's a couple of very similar 

photos from slightly different distances.

 

The L-shaped wall at the bottom 

of the picture will have glass on it.

Here's a couple of the home front...

...with Geo mulling around, checking it out.  

That's about it for this post.
