OK to launch!!

When last we left our intrepid house builders, we were waiting on the painter to finish the walls and floors. I'm happy to report, the painting is done and touched up. (and beautiful)

This is the painted concrete floor in the "fitness room". Kinda cool, huh? There is also a sealed concrete floor in the laundry/dog room, where we spend the day yesterday building our boot bench.

The general actually told us it's OK to start moving in, although we are missing some rather critical parts, like plumbing fixtures. We took that to mean we could start moving some of the big pieces, and our thanksgiving weekend has been spent building office furniture.....

...having furniture delivered and unpacking what's been here a while.... as you can see, doggies are quite comfortable with their new surroundings.

I also spent the better part of 2 days cleaning up after the cleaning lady. We seem to have distinctly different standards. Like, I have a thing for dead bugs in the light fixtures, she does not...... Anyway.....

Hopefully the plumber will show up on monday to finish, the electricians have a tiny bit of stuff (floor outlets in the fitness room), and they're expecting the final electrical inspection monday morning. The window blinds should be here by the end of the week, with a possible friday install....... We have set a new set of rules now. No one goes over there empty handed, and, if it doesn't have an immediate home, it doesn't go. Eventually we'll have to just take the rest of our fine collections (crap) over there, but right now we're trying to do it systematically. Ok, everyone send "plumber show up vibes"!
