Kitchen / Yard

Today was a very busy day at my parents' remodel. They had one team laying the stucco on the walls. They had another team removing the stump of what was a 50'+ pine tree (this was probably the hardest of the jobs) and the final team was bringing the new island into the kitchen.

Laying the stucco

The island on the truck It took A LOT of effort to move this island. The cabinet maker that made it wanted it in one piece so there would be no double walled portions. It's more efficient for space, but it made it extremely big and hard to maneuver around corners as they brought it in.

At one point they had to remove the base from it so the rest could fit Here's the island in its final resting placeMy mom is very happy.Here's a picture of these guys splitting off bits of this stump at a time. Every once in a while they could use a chainsaw, but mostly it was just splitting off bit by bit. The stump had to be cleared today because the backyard contractor wants to start on the stairs tomorrow.
