Success!

We found a stain that worked! What a relief. This is a water-based stain and we need to do a bit more research on the sealer, but are excited about the color.
Olive and Artichoke will have a secret entrance to the litter boxes from our bedroom, so that we won't need to worry about keeping the door open between the kitchen and utility room. This will get framed in a bit more before the drywall goes up.
The drywalling is finally scheduled to start next week. The electricians need one more day and then, following an inspection, things can really start to improve. This is the receiving end of the laundry chute located just inside our bedroom. Tim framed it so that a laundry hamper can be placed on the top shelf to receive the boys' laundry and we can have another hamper or storage underneath.

This is the upstairs portion of the laundry chute....did I mention that we occassionally see small elves haunting the site?!
Matt is busy figuring out how to wire for sound in the media room, living room, kitchen, and master bath. He plans to do that this weekend...before the drywall goes up.

Do you now about Bose (and others) wireless speakers? AMAZING!!!

yeah, wireless is great, but you pay a premium for the transmitter and receiver...we're trying to avoid that with some forethought at this point. thanks for the suggestion, though - it's still a viable option.

Yay! We're so happy to see you are figuring the stain out. And how exciting to have things rolling again.
Thanks for the update!
