We're complete slackers when it comes to updating this blog. Lots has happened in the intervening months since the last post. We got our surface materials bid (floors, counters, etc.) only to find it was much higher than our allowance. After some redesigns, we got that under control, and floors are in the process of being installed. Cabinets have been mostly installed, with only a few glitches on the cabinet maker's part (one which still needs ironing out...). The interior is painted with a base coat of what will be the ceiling color, "nice white", and the exterior is almost entirely finished except for stone trim and, a minor matter, the entry staircase. The entry stair has been something of a challenge, as we apparently built Rapunzel's tower. But we'll get something eventually. Maybe a ladder. We're hoping once we have the stairs and the stone in place, the existing exterior colors will all tie in nicely together. As it is, you can't miss our house in a crowd :-)
Next up, more floors and bathroom surfaces, then painting somewhere in there, appliances, and... moving in? Supposedly completion is scheduled for the beginning of September. We'll see if we make it in by Kael's second birthday (Sept. 25th). Given that he now knows how to climb out of his crib, the sooner we can get him into a baby-proof room (i.e., not our office and library), the better.
