Home Sweet Home

We are finally moved in. We had family helping yesterday and got the kitchen emptied and a lot of "stuff" but it was too late to move the beds. So my sister got to christen our new home last night since the guest bedroom was all set up but tonight it's all ours. Even with boxes everywhere it is so comfortable, so beautiful and roomy, we are going to enjoy living here very much Unfortunately we've been too busy to take pictures so you'll just have to use your imagination for now.

Almost. . .

T minus seven days and counting. How many more little things can be done! Final cleaning was supposed to be Tues but the floor still needed work and the master bath shower still had work to be done so it was only half cleaned and now they will do final final cleaning tomorrow. Dryer still needs to be hooked up, missing a closet shelf, stuff like that. So we have been setting up the 2 spare rooms and today started with kitchen cupboards. Lots of trips back and forth. I think the kitchen still needs another coat of paint too. Despite all this we are planning to move in this weekend. You know what they say about best laid plans. . .

Well as usual the picture doesn't do it justice but this is the master shower and around the corner with the green wall is where the tub is. The multi-colored band around both is glass tile which matches the blue and green wall perfectly. It's so pretty.

You may know by now that we didn't make our move-in date of today. There is still a lot of "things" to be done including grouting this bath. The floor was finished today, appliances still need to be hooked up and lots of cleanup. Monday the heat was hooked up and we have water now too. The sunroom is finished. It is soooo nice. We went out to take a peek tonight and it was 73 in the sunroom and 55 outside. I'll have to take a picture to show you.

We do plan to start moving some things over this weekend into my craft room and the guest bedroom since there is nothing more to do there except hang closet doors.

Going Down!!!

Our elevator was installed today. It goes from the first floor to the basement. It was so smooth that I didn't know it was moving. Of course Doug beat me to the basement by the stairs but there will come a day when he is happy to have it too, I'm sure. I am happy to know that I can get things out of storage by my self. It's all about independence!

We have power!!

I couldn't believe it when I was still getting dressed this morning and Doug came in and said Public Service was in the yard hooking up the power! I wanted to cry I was so happy. Just Friday they told me it wouldn't be till the 15th or 16th. The elevator was installed today too. Now that we have power they can test it and then I can test it! The kitchen and living room floor are finished but the house was so cold that the adhesive wasn't sticking. Soon all the loose ends will be tied up. The final insulation is scheduled for 10/13 and after what .. . I hope we can start moving.
