In another attempt to get an island countertop, we stopped by the marble and tile place that has supplied all of our floor tile. Our designer wasn't in, but we chose a couple of colors we like. I'll give her a call Monday.
The photo is the stairs that the guys put up Friday. It's more fun than you might imagine to be able to get into the house from the back without using a ladder.
Atop the post at the top right of the picture is the solar post cap we picked up Friday. We left it out this weekend to see how much light it will provide and decided we'll probably just use a couple -- at the entry from the ground to the stairs in the photo.
Speaking of deck lights, we also visited Lowe's this weekend to choose the lights that will be installed near the deck floor in the big (yet-to-be-built) posts. We think we may want those same fixtures in the stairs too. (Safety first!)
And speaking of lighting in general, by visiting the house after dark one night, we discovered we didn't ask for a three-way switch on the fixture that will illuminate the back stairs -- which means we can either leave a light on downstairs when we go to bed at night, or we can try to go up in complete darkness. Neither sounds all that appealling, so Bud will talk to Jesse on Monday.
Amid our pile of weekend errands, we found time to see "The Dark Knight," which we really enjoyed -- at a Movie Tavern, which we'd never tried. Pretty cool way to see a movie, we thought.
