T Minus 11 Days and Counting!

Whew! Glad last week is over. Earl and I painted the entire house (minus a few closets) in about two days. That was alot of painting! And, unfortunately for us, we were obligated to use the builder-supplied neutral color. So that means more painting is in store for us when we move in.

In addition to painting, we also installed all the door knobs and register covers and did a quick clean (didn't have to - but we wanted to see our floors).

It's amazing what finished floors will do to a house. It almost looks like a home. =)

We are now down to crunch time and it's looking like the weather may not cooperate. Please pray for some sunny days so the worker bees can buzz around and get our stone front up, railings put on, deck built, sidewalks formed, landscaping planted, and sod laid. I'm sure there's more - and that's just the outside! Inside there's touch up painting, staining, heavy duty cleaning, blind installing and then the general fix-it list.

The entryway...
Hallway to kicthen...
Up the stairs......staining needs to be done...
Libby prancing around, enjoying the space...
The kitchen...we just need to add a few more cabinets and it will be complete! (well...we need some more appliances, too...)
The living room....notice the section of drywall that is unpainted - it had to be replaced due to insulation issues. Yikes! I'm just glad it was caught on their watch...

My monkey girl found a perch...nothing like a good precarious spot to sit and enjoy the day!
The loft...it may not be all that big, but it's exciting to have an "extra" room!
