Small changes


Things at the house either seem to be slowing down or there's just more to be done than I thought. They are taking care of some of the less "glamorous" stuff like moving heat ducts, patching drywall, sealing tile.  But everything is important. Fortunately, we do have this bit of eye candy above - limestone tile floor being installed! Here's hoping there's enough tile because I've not been able to get the 360flooring.com website to load for weeks and suspect maybe they've gone out of business. Yikes.
Of course, what's also visible here is the microwave trim, apron front sink, and crown moulding.
Other updates to report: tiling in the bathrooms is done. I've put a first coat of paint on the walls, so they should be installing the fixtures shortly.
The ceiling in the big family room is in progress.
And the counter top is now scheduled to be installed next Wednesday (after some annoying delays by the manufacturer, which resulted in my choosing a slightly different color material.)
We move in next month!

Progress everywhere

So actually, I screwed up. missed a little part on the cabinet order where it said "perimeter white/island brown." It was supposed to be brown island AND brown hutch piece over there on the left. So it's all white. But I'm not beating myself up over it.

Somehow sometimes it feels like we move forward and it looks like there's more to be done. I'm feeling rather anxious about it all, but mostly it's just the prospect of carrying rent + mortgage for one more month. Probably, we can be done with that after September. At least, that's the goal.

Repairing the hardwood.
Here are some new shots of the oodles of progress to be seen...

Ran out of hex tile :( I should've known the order was wrong. Oh well.

Oooh, niche...
I wanted to be a little more bold/fun with the boys' bathroom. I think I covered that. The tile guy has his work cut out for him with the grouting for this surround!

these guys are fast! I am so excited that work has restarted. It's beginning to feel like we might actually move into this place some time soon!
