It is hard to believe summer is winding down. School starts in 3 weeks. That means the push is on to get as much finished before the homes tour as possible.
All of the IKEA cabinets are together. Here is a shot with one of the doors with some of the protective film pulled back. The top and bottom pieces are almost finished and most of this should get installed this week. The top of this will be concrete (of course) with the broken red murano glass pieces in the surface and fiber optics. I am such a nerd, the concrete top will have a power unit. This is a much needed item for our house. The buffet will free up cabinet space by holding all of the wine, liquor, and barware. It will also give the cats someplace to sit and look out the back windows other than the kitchen counters. We don't let them up but surprisingly cat footprints end up on the stove nightly.
The desk top has been ground and filled. It will have to hang out a week or so to get hard enough to polish. The white concrete with the green and blue glass looks really good.
Jerad helped me rip down the
baltic birch pieces for the bed. Big thanks to him for being my left hand and keeping me from doing too much. All the cuts are made and I have started gluing the pieces together.
The stainless steel hairpin pegs and headboard support for the bed. Everything came from

The Shag got framed, yippee!
The Tiki man and the Shag fit in well.
Jerad helped me push the desk into place. I only had to pull it out once for fine tuning.
A little touch up paint and we are done with this project......

I had minor surgery on my wrist. 
Sam is my left hand for a few weeks.
I went to Sacramento, saved a client 2-5 million dollars, and saw a wildfire.
On the circle, Mark is making really good progress.
The red house has a new roof.
We did an aid station at the Rock Creek Night race.
And we managed to lie around the pool and have a few drinks.
Alright, how about some house updates. The garden is going crazy. We have started eating tomatoes, peppers, peas, and radishes. The corn is looking good and the squash has begun to take over everything.
The drawer fronts are finished, not on but finished. The first slider is complete.
Trim in the second bedroom is finished!
Sam, Jerad, and Mark helped place the concrete for the desk in the second bedroom. Here is the mold with blue and green crushed glass.
The concrete is white. I will grind the top to expose the colored glass.
