David's Graduation!!!

We had a great several days, with many happy occasions.  Many awards and celebrations for David, and lots of good times and conversation with the outa towners that made the long trek to share the celebrations.

Here are a few pix of David's graduation:

first the leadership banquet, where he received an award for Intellect, ( got that from his mother!), and other things.

Counters are in!

Made a trip today to deliver the last light kits for ceiling fans, and meet with our contractor and with the kitchen designer to look at ideas for the backsplash behind the cooktop.  While we were there, we had plumbers, electricians and security system guys all doing installation work - wow - alot of activity!

The counters are now installed in the kitchen and all bathrooms.

Kitchen views:

the cooktop will be to the right in this view, and will have some nice tilework on the wall behind it.

Little bar sink with icemaker below.  There's window/pass-through over the sink that looks into the den area beyond.

views from the dining area looking into the kitchen:

Kitchen sink is on the right side, below the window.  The peninsula in the foreground has a bit of overhang for a few barstools and lunch counter, ( like Linden Hills! )

Master bathroom sinks and tub and shower:

Upstairs bath sink area:

The elevator has been installed, but does not yet have power:

More lights, and appliances

We made a quick trip to deliver more electrical stuff and see the progress.  More light fixtures and appliances have been installed and some tile work on master shower and tub.  Also, had to drive to Picayune to pick new granite for the island since the stone yard sold what was supposed to be for us.  Now counter installation is delayed until May 6th.

Master tub and shower, still needs a little work...

Exterior lights by the front door...

Maggie finally has her double oven!

and a fancy fridge.
