still working hard


Well, things seem to be happening fast & furious.

We poured the driveway last week. There were a few anxious moments getting the trucks up the hill but in the end they did, thanks, in my mind, only to divine intervention. The air conditioners got started up. Gas service was hooked up. The exterior painters finished. The front porch handrails were finished. (As mentioned previously, the front porch columns will be done after we are in the house; the skinny black steel columns in the picture are only temporary).

The hardwood floor finishing crew starts tomorrow and I'm meeting with the landscaper as well. Carpet is due on Thursday, as are the appliances. Countertops are due on Friday. Hopefully, the electricians will hang the final fixtures and hook up the appliances on Friday as well. And the furniture for the rooms with carpet is expected on Saturday.

Hopefully, a week from tomorrow the plumbers will hook up the kitchen sink and the dishwasher and the floor finishers can put on their final coat of finish. So, stay tuned; we are getting close.
