Moving In

House

Yesterday we were able to start moving furniture onto the main floor. I can’t begin to tell you how nice it was to finally do this. Shane came home over his lunch and moved the couch, buffet, dresser, and room dividers in from the porch. Brendan and I spent the majority of the day rearranging furniture and then playing on the couch. Brendan seemed to have a blast! He was laughing almost the entire day!  All that’s left now is to hang pictures and lights. We also need to finish setting up Shane’s office. Hopefully tonight we’ll finish.  It looks like a rainy today so we might be stuck inside. So I might start unpacking our boxes that are left from when we moved in upstairs.

While I was busy with furniture yesterday the kitchen counter tops were being installed. They look amazing and I couldn’t be happier with the kitchen. Now if we could only use it! Still no word on when the electrician and plumber will be here. Tomorrow our painter will be here to refinish the bay window and closet door.After that he’ll be painting the kitchen ceiling and back entry. He will also be doing touch ups through the house as a courtesy. After all of this all that’s left is the cleaning work and the rest of the wood work being installed. I did find out yesterday that the duct work and duct cleaning will be done next week at the earliest. After that they’ll come back in to clean carpets upstairs and steam clean the tile floors in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. I have to admit I’m not happy that we’ll end up waiting again. We’re just so close to being done that I’m getting impatient.

    Kitchen looks great. You’ve gotta be so pumped about finishing (which is why I understand the frustration of having to wait a little longer).

    So happy for you guys! It’s the simple things, eh?

    Ahh, your kitchen is just beautiful! Everything looks so good together, and I know you must be chomping at the bit to get in there and have a normal family dinner.

    It’s good to hear that things are moving forward.

    You really need to talk to the plumber who installed that sink, though.

    Things are really coming together. From the kitchen to the floors to the heat registers, everything is looking fantastic! It’s going to feel so great actually start using it!

    Wowee! That looks great! At least you will have things looking good pretty fast. We are looking at another year or two before we get things in order… Congrats!
