The countdown 'til moving day!

Despite a slight delay last week, we are now essentially counting the hours until Thursday when the moving truck arrives and we can actually begin the process of moving into our new home!!  Here's a quick look at what's been happening this past week or so. . .   The 'ram board' that had been covering all the floors was pulled up so we can once again see our pretty hardwood floors!

The cook top and pot filler are in - . . . as are the ovens and refrigerator. 

Master bedroom built in nightstands and shelves - new bed to be delivered on Friday!

The washer & dryer are now in. LOVE MY LAUNDRY ROOM!

The stairs ended up causing the recent delay - somehow they were stained the wrong color - YIKES!  So after sanding and re-staining over the weekend, they are perfect!  

Here's Peter on Sunday - he was happily driving his tractor around the yard working on getting the dead lawn pulled up so we can begin the next big project - landscaping!!  

Kitchen Tile

I forgot to include this picture in the other post.  This shows the back splash tile. (you can click on the picture and it will enlarge it.)  We are currently waiting on an order of about 12 more tile to complete the space over the cooktop.  

Less than two weeks to go!

Here's a shot of our latest "trim" - yes they are little plastic branches to keep the birds from roosting on the ledges!  It's so much better than last spring though, when Peter was getting rid of nests on a daily basis!

  

 

This shows the "library" area at the top of the stairs.  The window seat will double as a twin bed and should be a very cozy nap-spot! 

Peter is ready to barbecue!

These three pictures show the newly installed shower doors in our bathroom, one of the guest rooms and the casita.  

We in the final weeks of the amazing (and very long) project!! We are planning to be able to spend our first night in our new home on Saturday, May 15!  Yea!!!!  Lots of little last minute painting, and details yet, but it's all truly coming together!   Moving truck is scheduled to arrive on Monday, May 17 - it will be like Christmas.  Peter hasn't seen most of his stuff in nearly five years. No idea ho many boxes we will have to unpack!

 For anyone who checks out the web-camera, please note that the camera is "out of order" until the end of the month.  It's being re-positioned.
