Barring any unforeseen problems, we are approximately two months away from moving into our new home. Target: early to mid-February. In these final weeks, Randy is busy building the closet shelving, I have finalized lighting choices, and we have a pretty good start to a landscaping plan.
The hardwood floors are in -- although they will need to be finished when we get a little further along. The cabinet maker is installing the cabinets, the stair carpenter is working to get the stairs completed, the trim carpenter continues to plug along, and the tile work continues inside and out. The painters have returned to start caulking the trim so they can resume working inside.
In the meantime, I've learned why special touches like sconces and bead board are so disdained by builders and that my husband and my project manager -- brothers, mind you -- have very different opinions about the most comfortable height for televisions.
Admittedly, we are a little nervous leaving this project for our Christmas trip. Every day raises questions about more details, and the details are now going to be visible for a long time to come. But we are grateful we have a good crew of guys out there. Here are some of the latest photos:
