The grass is greener...
Grass seed has started germinating!
And that's not all - we found lots of other changes at the new house today when we were out there.
Much of the plumbing has been finished - Kitchen faucets, dishwasher, master bathtub, guest and master shower and vanity fixtures, guest and master toilets, dog shower. Still need to hook up the water filter as you can see from the photos but the water is running and the toilets are flushing!
Electrical trim has begun. Refrigerator is plugged in and cooling stuff. Many electrical outlets have been installed. Several surface mount light fixtures have been installed too - laundry room, Baby Girl's room, guest and master bathrooms, master closet.
Shower doors have been installed in the guest and master bathrooms and they look great!
Most of the smoke detectors have been installed too.
Also, all of the stuff that had been covered during the painting and touchups is now uncovered - eg hardwood floors, slate flooring, stair bannisters, fireplace and mantle! So basically it looks finished, if a little dusty, and with some of the electrical trim and lighting fixtures still to be installed.
Tim and Rich were out there today running cable so we could hook up a phone in the kitchen at the little desk. So we now also have a working phone out there now hooked up to a real phone jack! No internet connectivity yet though - Tim is still troubleshooting that one.
More photos here. You'll have to excuse the slight fuzziness - I think I need to clean my lens, and I was also snapping away rather quickly because my battery was dying ;-)

The house is looking beautiful. Here's looking forward to you and Tim and Baby Girl starting your new life together!
