CURBING POURED
The curbing guys came by and knocked this out in one day. Results look good. Landscapers should finish up next week.

PATIO POURED
Rain be damned! Very unusual weather patterns thus far this summer. We have had rain at least three time a week through July! Not to mention the one tornado we had in June. OK, no more delays, the back patio off the basement walk-out was poured today. Exposed aggregate looks great. Curbing guy should show up tomorrow and the yard should be ready for mulch and sod next week.

GLASS CABINET DOORS
We had the kitchen cabinets designed with some of the shelves open with an eye toward adding some aluminum framed glass doors later on. The first set of glass doors to be added consisted of three aluminum narrow frame (stainless steel finish) doors with a somewhat obscure glass (galette) to be operated vertically.
The doors were ordered from doors2me.com and the fit and finish are excellent. The doors were predrilled to receive hinges by Blum (model: Adventos HK-S vertical lift system). Installation was fairly easy. I made a template from scrap masonite for setting the hinges for drilling. Align the dimples in the holes and drill the holes for hinge attachment. Doors were predrilled to receive the special narrow door frame Blum adapter for fitment with the HK-S hinge. The Blum lift system works well. Adjustments allow tweaking the up/down, right/left, and depth of the doors, as well as spring tension aiding in lift. All hardware was purchased through cabinetparts.com. Knobs are ordered and will be added upon arrival.
I am planning to add a double hinged aluminum framed door to the upper corner unit as well as double doors to the upper book shelf unit.

FORMS STRIPPED
Wall forms were stripped today. Patio pour will occur tomorrow as the side yard was still a bit spongy from Tuesday night's gully-washer. Cultured stone veneer and wall cap were ordered today.

JULY UPDATE
Spent the last 3 months moving, unpacking, cleaning, moving, unpacking, cleaning... Lots of pictures remain unhung and plenty of stuff is still not put away. But, we are moved in and the old house has sold and closed - wahoo! corks popping! Now the real work begins.
Kicked off the landscaping the first week in July. Sprinklers are complete. Couple trees are planted with rock mulch in place, and we have 300-square feet of wild flower sod planted.
The hard-scaping continues. Exposed aggregate patio and retaining wall around garage foundation to be poured tomorrow.
