House Updates

These pictures are at least a week or so old, but show some of the progress. The end is in sight! Septic system is in, so final grading can begin.

This is the backyard.  This will all be seeded, but I think down the road, we will put shrubs and mulch that hill and maybe build a wall of sorts (no need to have grass on that hill).



The deck just needs side railings and steps.
 
The hardwood is all installed now and just needs to be stained/polyurethaned.  The tile is in the mudroom, bathrooms, and laundry room,as well.  Carpet (on the stairs and in the bedrooms) is one of the last things to go in.
 
Here are the upper cabinets.  Apparently, someone mismeasured, so the lower cabinets had to be re-ordered.  That, of course, means that the countertops can't be installed yet, either.  :(  It will all get worked out, but no more delays please!
 
Lighting fixtures have started to be installed, driveway is ready to be paved, and final interior touchups should be coming up soon.  Then final inspections and appraisals need to happen before a closing date can be scheduled. 

11 months old!

She wants the camera now!

House Update

No pictures because we are having computer problems which hopefully will be resolved soon.  The house is:
painted, trimmed, deck is almost done, garage doors installed and most systems heating, cooling, water, etc) seem to be installed.  Still to be done in the interior: flooring, lighting fixtures, and cabinets.  Exterior: More dirt still needs to be moved, septic needs to be installed, driveway paved, loam and seed yard, sidewalk installed, and plantings needed.  Please, please, keep your fingers crossed that all this can be done in the next 5 weeks or so!  We are anxious to move into our new house!

Teething relief

Lainey likes feeding herself popsicles once the initial cold shock wears off.
