Kitchen is Painted / Trim is in

We painted the kitchen a dark red color now it is time to pick out a back splash. The under cabinet base molding, and window molding is also now installed.

Anyone have any suggestions for a back splash?

We have been doing a lot of outside landscaping, pictures to follow.....

BEFORE PICTURE:

Pictures from up top

I am trying to get HGTV to come and landscape the yard. If anyone has a contact at HGTV let me know... Seriously.

Faucet is in plumbing is done

Drains:

1) Sink Drain

Water Feeds:

1) Hot water Sink

2) Hot water dishwasher

3) Cold water Sink

4) Cold water ice maker

Faucet is in, soap dispenser is in. Need a back splash and window trim.

Tip :When sweating pipes if you stuff bread in the main feed pipes it will hold the water back and allow you to heat the fittings with out the water drawing the heat away from what you are sweating. Once the fittings are united the bread will flush out.

23 Tons of Gravel

Rigged this up to help spread the gravel.

This is what 23 Tons of gravel looks like. The plan is to spread this as a base so that the driveway can eventually be paved. The going rate for driveway gravel is $25 / ton delivered.

Front of the house landscaping

Jessie is working on clearning the front so we can put a shrub and flower bed in.

Front steps still need to be fixed.

HOUSE BEFORE PICTURE:

10 More Yards of Dumpster : From the garage and around the yard...

Will be moving everything left in the garage up to the barn. The floor will be cleaned, coated and sealed with 2 part epoxy floor paint.

Garage is almost empty. Need to sell the tub and 2 sinks. Good Scrap. *FOR SALE*




























Found a really old cargo van type roof by the barn, which is now in the dumpster. The roof had a ton of worms, and really good soil on it and under it.

















Found a lot of miscellaneous items all around.
