Spotless

There's a dirt spot on the fridge. Don't worry I got it. It's all clean now.

Just as in hard drives, you can never have too much storage. Since our pantry is fairly small and our cabinets are filling up with baby food, we decided to add a pantry door storage system. The system we bought was from elfa which is pretty pricey compared to what you can find at BBB or LNTs. But it is pretty sturdy and fits on the door without any drilling. It also uses a single hanging rail down the middle which doesn't get in the way of the door knob. The first system we bought from BBB had two rails on each side which interfered with the knob. It wasn't as sturdy as the elfa either.

My first non-battery powered swing

Swings aren't all that fun if you're not moving. You guys need to push me.

Nice top

Our quartz counters were finally installed. We just need to tile, paint, and then get the shower glass ordered.

Here's the top on the corner unit we have in the toilet room.

Before the tops went on, I finished wiring 3 outlets in each of the boxes and installing the 1/4 turn ball valves for the hot and cold pipes. In this box, I actually ran the dedicated circuit for the air tub into this cabinet so that the hairdryer won't trip anymore. As long as the tub isn't on, the hairdryer will be the only thing on the circuit. Previously the hairdryer would always trip the bathroom breaker especially in the summer.

Here I added in the two breakers on the right that are for the tub and the heater in the exhaust fan. There's normally a cover panel that hides all the wires. :)
