More after photos without asbestos

We're back

We're back to working on the house. This weekend we bought and installed kitchen knobs and pulls. They were stock knobs from home depot, which surprised us because we had looked there before, but they are nice and didn't cost us a fortune.



















I made another garden box and added some soil, but we need to get more. I actually won 5 yards of organic compost about 5 years ago (at an ecological landscaping conference), it was delivered to my parents house and they didn't use it so last time we were home we brought about 15 wheelbarrows full. I think the 5 yards will fill about 4 garden boxes.




Greg worked on installing the cabinet that goes above the refrigerator and we added paneling around the side.




















During the week we worked on removing vines from the trees that line our border with the apartments.

Kitchen before and after

Here are some before and after photos of our kitchen. We're still missing a few cabinets and other details, but it's come a long way.
