Endgame

We are a week and a half away from moving in. That's right, we are scheduled to move in the weekend of the 23rd and 24th. Believe it or not, it looks like we are going to hit that date. So, what's been going on? To be honest, my mind (and body) is mush. Last Saturday, I made the whirlwind trip to Connecticut with my Father, and we cleaned out a bunch of furniture from my Grandfather's old house. It ended up working out well- Loralee and I have thier dining room set for the new house, as well as a nearly-new electric stove and a riding lawn mower. Although we really want a nice gas stove at some point, this one is in excellent condition and will work out extremely well for now.

Sunday, while I ran back up to Dad's to borrow his small tractor and equipment, Lor worked at the house- Painting the new vanity, urethane doors, and a ton of other things. She got a lot done, and it all looks great. Oh, and Chris and Ray came up to do some mountain-biking, and stayed over night. I think they thought we were totally burnt out (which we are), but it was great to see them both and connect a little bit-- It almost felt human.

THis week, aside from paint/urethane work, we have been working on seeding and mulching the yard. Meanwhile, the tile guy is setting the tile in our bathrooms and kitchen counter. Jeb milled our finished stairs, which came out great. The rest of the doors are being hung, and we're just waiting for the door hardware. Michael the mason got to the ceiling, and is breaking through to finish on the exterior. Paul is installing the furnace and plumbing.... Really, we are ALMOST THERE!!

This weekend, our big job will be to finish the floors in our bedrooms. Next week, Jeb can wrap up the trim there, and focus on punch out.

As soon as I get a chance, I'll get more images up here...
