Yeah... this works... I could live here...
We took Tommy with us on our visit to the new house today, now that all the construction is done and the grass is all in. He seemed to have a good time and made himself right at home :-)
Over the last two days the house has been a beehive of activity:
- all cabinet door and drawer pulls are installed in all rooms
- fireplace trim is complete and fireplace fully functional
- all lighting fixtures are installed and so are their switches so we can actually turn them on! Including Baby Girl's lights, the dining room chandelier (the one from my old house) and the chandelier in the stair way.
- Almost all the base shoe is complete
- mirrors are all hung and trimmed in both bathrooms
- bathroom accessories (towel bars, toilet paper holders, etc) are all installed
- closet rods and shelves are installed in the entry closet and Baby Girl's room
- all the interior doors are hung and hardware installed
Not a whole lot left to do - they're touching up some of the paint spots we identified, and finishing the base shoe; cleaning crew comes in next week, as do final inspection people.
So it seems we're moving in on the 12th, 13th and 14th. 12th will consist of moving all the stuff from the basement to their appropriate rooms; 13th and 14th we've reserved a truck to haul the rest of our stuff from our current house to the new place...
Kinda hard to believe it's really happening!

The house is looking beautiful. Tommy looks very happy on the wood floor! Here's hoping baby girl's arrival goes smoothly and you can all move to your new home on schedule!

Posted by Dad on August 4, 2005 7:20 AM.Your home is gorgeous! I found your site by searching on C2 Paint color names. Could you please post the names and brands of the colors you have used? I love the living room color, and the subtle color of the master bedroom. Best to you and your new arrival! Christine
