I hauled 200 pounds of quartz slab 10 miles on my bicycle from the slab yard today.

This is for the countertop for the short cabinets in the bedroom closet, under the fold down ironing board. This scrap was $60, but they almost didn’t let me leave with it on my trailer. I had to sign a thing that said I understand how heavy it is and I am taking responsibility for transporting it 😂

The crew installed the antenna tower on the roof today and ran the conduit into the cabinet inside! I can't wait til I can start loading it up with gear!

The painters finished the stain on the range hood and took down their plastic sheeting, looks so good! Next up picking out cabinet hardware.

Today I went around and took pictures of all the cabinets to make a list of what cabinet hardware to buy. Turns out there are lots of rules about how cabinet hardware should be placed, but also you can break a lot of the rules. I think I have it figured out though.

I installed the door code keypads today! It took so long before we were ready to install them that UniFi launched a new version that I bought instead, so the back plate is the wrong size. It matched the tall skinny UniFi readers so well, but I like this keypad better so here we are.

We really have to make a decision about the kitchen backsplash tile now! I got two more sample boxes in this week.

The 5 replacement ceiling panels came in a slightly different tint! I'm sending them back and they're going to try to match them.

The extremely custom range hood is getting closer! The hood insert will slide in from the bottom, and the top part will have storage in front of the duct!

Today the crew hung the picture rails everywhere. It will eventually be painted the same color as the walls. I'm looking forward to never having to punch holes in the walls again!
