Today I left my work place earlier to be able to visit Uchi before departing to the wilderness of the Minnesota-Canadian Borderlands. But there was a car accident clogging up the road to our Uchi, and I ended up taking more than 45 minutes to reach it.
But I was really glad that I went there - Uchi is so different from the couple of days before! I was late meeting others because of the visit, but I was happy to see all the changes inside our Uchi.
We've tried to post enough pictures today to make up for all the days we didn't visit Uchi in the last week or so.
Also, sorry about the blurry pictures, but I only had 5 minutes to wander around Uchi because I had to meet others to drive to the Boundary Waters for a weekend of camping & canoeing.
First of all, our driveway was done! As you can see, the weather in MN is not that friendly -- we've had rain for a couple of days in a row already. I, of course, really like the weather. : )
We also have lights outside our garage - they are so cute. They are really simple design
But they do not all match -- it's strange, and even our neighbors have noticed.
This is another different style of outside lights. We are not really sure why we have 2 different kinds, maybe because we didn't do any upgrades : ( This one is more fancy.
The simple outside lights are by the garage doors
The fancy ones are by our main door. Maybe we have to replace the simple ones with the fancy ones when we move in -- what do you guys think?
They also added light fixtures inside the home -- this is another upgrade we took. We like the oiled bronze design instead of the plain chrome ones. We were thinking to redesign those when we move in, but we decided too many lights need to be replaced. So we think it would be better to upgrade this.
...... and now, for the biggest change inside Uchi:
We have a kitchen now -- OK, at least half a kitchen. We don't have our sink, microwave, refrigerator or dishwasher (yet). Our kitchen countertops and island are installed already.
We don't really like our countertop pattern -- maybe one day we can upgrade our countertops to a different color.
Our chandelier light is installed -- it's not too fancy but good enough for now
All the light switch covers are installed, and we no longer see any wires hanging out.
The countertop for our master bathroom is installed - but not the fixtures yet. All of them are white since we didn't do any upgrades.
The main bathroom countertop is done, too!
The light over our stairway is installed now...
And our Uchi is not cold anymore, since they have installed a thermostat and have set it to 65.
