Our Blue Star finds its home.

With the tile being completed in the kitchen, it is time to move in our range with the help of this appliance "sled".  

This appliance mover acts like a hover-craft, using compressed air to inflate the two rectangular pieces which have been slid under the stove.

Turn it on, and they inflate and are able to lift up to 800 pounds with ease.  No scratching the floor or hurting
the back!

Deflate the pads and slide them back out and you are done.

Kitchen Tile

Tom has returned to put in the kitchen backsplash now that the cabinets and formica have been installed.

We chose a simple small subway tile in off white which complements the soft green counter top and the dark walnut cabinets.

The sink will be placed here to the right of the dishwasher and beneath my farmhouse style tiles I found in an antique store years ago.

Appropriate, don't you think!

Albert and my brother Paul resting after moving in the kitchen stove, clawfoot tub, and refrigerator.  Thanks again for the extra muscle, Paul!

While the appliances were being moved in, I finished up painting the exterior door to the North.  The porch post does not look so out of place now that the door matches it in color.

And a shot of some of the foundation plantings we have placed, here on the South side.
