Light fixtures and DIY Concrete Countertops

Jake went down to the house on his lunch break with a work friend today and moved the finished countertops into the house! I can't wait to go see them in person cause the pictures look aaaamazing. Let's rewind a bit... 

We had a busy weekend as usual, and then Jake had Monday off for Columbus Day. (Weird, but I'm not complaining!) We spent a good chunk of it at the house doing some finishing touches on the countertops. They were all dry so he lightly sanded them and then mixed up some concrete that didn't have aggregate to fill in some tiny holes. This was an extra step we had hoped to avoid, but they were too heavy to agitate so naturally there were holes from air bubbles.
  
 
Fast forward to today....voila! The piece behind the sink is still missing (he still needs to secure the sink), that seam in the corner needs to be filled, and they need to be sealed/caulked...but they're in! And we love them! DIY win. 

 
 
I'll share more pics once they're 100% finished. 

The electrician also spent some time at the house and got all the fixtures installed! 

 
(Still no stain on the door)

 
 
 
Now all that's left inside is plumbing fixtures/toilets, carpet, and a big cleaning job. Jake needs to install all the door knobs and locks. They're pouring the driveway/walkway/sidewalk tomorrow, and we're still waiting on a garage door. Soooo close! 

Because I can't resist writing about Ryan...kid lives tomatoes. :)
