Container arrival

Container accesing the turn up to the hammer head..
Bob on top of the container around 6 am hacking a few limbs off a tree that was a lil bit to low so we did a lil trim job for the truck to make the turn..
View from walking down driveway at the position where we parked the container and started the out of container up hill process
The container at the parking spot at the hammerhead..same position as last photo
Bob cutting the tags off the handle to un lock the lock
Bob un locked and ripping the doors open to see if it looked the same as when it left Aptos
Last thing out and surely awaited by bob..pretty tricky coming down the ramp but #4 handles it well
A container emptied and a garage packed of everything...and almost all of that has been dispersed throughout the house to the rooms where they all are supposed to go...
Must say you guys did and incredible job on packing things and mapping everything out to where they go is just amazing...I can't believe all the things that are in all the boxes..its just wild...Pretty well thought out and a lot of effort you guys put into it...im pretty sure other peoples container activities probably haven't gone as smoothly and planned out as ours...Grrreeeeaaat job you guys and give yourself a big pat on the back..talk soon and will put some interior photos up when there's not a mountain of boxes everywhere....love kc

Looking into living/dining room with all windows and sliders in...
Looking into the kitchen...Granite has been put in and finished and looks really good...Great choice....It looks a lil dark in this photo as there wasnt to much light getting in and i wasnt shooting with flash...Kitchen has a great feel and good flow i think.... good call on the island as well...

The stairwell chandeler..notice the sconce on the wall as well
the chandeler above the island..i had them hang it as low as the chains that it came with would let us...
Just a pulled in view of the same chandeler over the island..definetley a nice pick and matches really well with all sconces...
