Early this morning when I dropped by the house to deliver some of our new light fixtures, there was a flurry of activity all around. The brick masons were loading up their equipment, the drywall/painters were there sanding and touching up some of the walls, and the electricians were there itching to get started working on the final wiring. So, needless to say, I was very excited about going back this evening to see all the progress.
Almost all of the light fixtures we had dropped off were installed, including the ceiling fans in the kids' rooms. And sometime during the day, the cabinets were delivered. While they aren't set yet, it sure is nice to see them in the house. Very beautiful. So now I'm more excited than ever.
We bought several more fixtures today. The only things lacking are the ceiling fans for our bedroom and the great room and the vanity lights for the two main bathrooms. We haven't found the perfect fans yet, and the vanity lights will be largely dependent on what faucets we choose. I'm still waiting for the booklet of those.
We also bought the rest of the paint, or all we intend to do now. We bought fresh pear for Anna's room, calm sky for the office, and stratosphere for Braxton's room. I wanted to start painting those rooms tomorrow, but with Anna's homework situation, they may have to wait until the weekend. (Let's just say that experience has shown that she won't do her homework if I leave her with mom.)
The next thing I'd love to see going on is some grading happening outside. It's time to lose the big mountain of dirt once and for all. The vinyl trim and guttering is also slated to be done next week, I think, so that will really make the outside look complete. After weeks of stand still, I can't say often enough how nice it is to see real progress on a house that has been 3 years in the planning/building for us!
