Hardwood delivery, landscaping and counter top installs

A few updates with floors, counters, and landscaping.  

 Added a few loads of dirt to front yard and the driveway to start smoothing things out a bit. 

 Painting is in full effect and its busy around the house. 
 New counters in kitchen installed along with farm style sink

 Maddie showing the hardwood boxes--they will sit in the house for a week to acclimatize
 We popped a box open to see how it looked--this is Acacia wood--should look really nice!
 I spent a few hours cutting some more trees up to move to the wood pile.  Seems never ending but we will have firewood for a good bit!
 Tools of the saw trade! 
 Also made a template for the bench in the mud room to fit the wall
 There is a slight curve to the back wall. 


 Template all done--now take to Bruce's shop to square up the douglas fir and make the bench.

We also picked up a bunch of native Colorado grass seed and wild flowers--hopefully this all comes up next year and starts to fill in the yard nicely.
