Trim...

Pre-painted, installed, nail holes filled, sanded, edges caulked…  Upstairs and down.

Ready for touch up paint tomorrow!

Patio ready to pour...

Tomorrow or the next day…

Two new family members...

A Scotch and and Ponderosa Pine…

I'm taking a break today from interior trim.  Will resume tomorrow…

Fireplace...

I was able to get the remote for the fireplace to work - lights and fans…

Just lights...

Lights and flames…

Just flames…

More flames and taller flames if I turn the thermostat up.

I'll put the trim pieces on soon.

What don't you see?

First shower...

In new house.

I'm saving the Master Bath for Denise, but I was very happy with my first shower in the utility bath - decent pressure, nice head height.

Beats the RV for showers ; )

Propane...

Sucked it up and opened the propane line valves and started the water heater and fireplace.  It took a little time, but both work now and the house didn't explode, or burn…

I took off the glass cover, let the bees out, took off the bottom plate and inserted six halogen bulbs into their slots, replaced the plate and covered it with glass pieces and rocks, then put the glass cover back on.

I still need to put the trim piece around, but first I have to mate the remote for the interior lights and blowers - I'll do that tomorrow most likely…
