Four Weeks?

While we saw much progress during the first two weeks of the new year, the countdown has begun. Will we really be in the house by mid-February? That's four weeks from now, and counting -- and much work needs to be done.

On the inside, the countertops are now installed, the painters are almost finishing priming and sanding the trim, and the cabinets have now been installed. On the exterior, most of the shutters were hung this week, the front door was installed, and the tile on the back porch was laid. We also saw the first lighting fixtures go up inside and out.

But the to-do list is long: painting, tile work, hardwood floors, and cabinets all must be completed, and appliances, plumbing fixtures and lighting must all be installed. Landscaping is scheduled to go in this week.

In the meantime, I have been working on the current house, getting it ready to sell. We list tomorrow, I hope! And I have many new photos to share:
