we're getting there.......

After a brief moment of panic, when the painter decided he wasn't going to finish until the day before thanksgiving, things managed to get back on track. The painter somehow found his motivation (thanks to the general contractor for providing it). He came on tuesday at 4:30 am to start the walls. He painted the front door...... LOVE my red door.

And continued to finish all the walls. On friday, he sanded and stained the concrete floors. (the moment EVERYONE has been waiting for). He'll be back over the weekend to apply the clear coat, and done on sunday, so that the plumber, electrician, and carpet guy can come and finish their bits.

Other developments this week included the pouring of the sidewalks and finishing the driveway......

Look at all those cars, and that's just half of them. It was crazy-busy here on thursday and friday!! The rest of the week was pretty durned productive too... The boys started on the deck and are almost done with the support frame The final mirror was installed in the jack and jill The fireplace was hooked up and started (ANOTHER remote!) The stove was hooked up and not started (too man paint funes) The HRV system was finished and fired up the carpet guy came and glued down tack strips in preparation to install carpet on monday. Things are finally happening....finally The most important thing.... Cable, internet and phone are done and ready!

Next week, there's only 3 days, so we'll see where we get. We're supposed to have the plumber, electrician, carpet guys, finsh carpenters, and cleaning lady, not to mention working on the deck....and the couch will be delivered on wed! yeah!
