It's Done!!!!

The finished product looks great. We were pleased to see it today. We should be closing the middle of this week and begin the torture that is moving.

They sprayed on the seed just a week ago and big areas are already up and started.

They painted the foundation the color of the house, looks nice.

The back steps, believe it or not, would have added another week or two because of permits, plans, etc, blah, blah. We'll have to get it done later.

We have some shrubs.

...and a house number.

Ellie likes it.

I couldn't help myself. I don't want them to dry up before we even move in.

One Week Closer--Detail Work

Most important things first: Seth is getting cuter every day.

"If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it"...Ellie loves primary (nursery) and loves doing the motions for the songs.

It's coming along fast now. They say one more good week and it will be about there. Carpet and finishing fixtures, grout in tiles, etc will come this week.

Had to take a picture of my LP gas tank fill valve--the tank is under the ground. Gas is used for the cooktop and the tankless water heaters.

Our football/sports/picnic field is about ready for seeding.

So now there's a cooktop in the island, dishwasher was still in a box.

The master bath was just about done; ready for grouting.

The hardwood floors are in the dining and entry way. The pillars too.

These are my sweet gas tankless water heaters. They better work as advertised. The idea is a never ending supply of hot water for less money. We'll see.

The railing is ready for sanding and staining; they'll be the color of the hardwood floors.

The dining room / entry.

The gas cooktop is in place. Very cool.

Fireplace and mantle is in.

More fill dirt and some good topsoil. They should seed it next week.

Looking almost there. The day after these pictures were taken, they were doing more trim painting inside and out.
