Loan Signed

No photos today. We did sign the mortgage papers on Tuesday, December 22nd though.

We'll post some photos once we're a little more moved in and have the internet up and running.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Garage Siding

One thing shared by last Saturday and today: Siding the garage.

Last Saturday, the appliances were delivered by Lowe's. All of them are black.










Michele is getting good at putting on even more door hardware...










Justin learned to caulk cracks tonight.

Thursday late night...

We quit much earlier tonight than Thursday a week ago. Last Thursday, Steve worked on the trim until well past midnight. Fueled on by his not ready to quit for the night just yet attitude, Michele and I kept finding things to do as well. After I put the 2nd coat of varnish on the exterior doors - which I thought was my last activity for the evening - we hung all of the things in the Master Bathroom: mirror, towel bars, etc.



On Friday, Steve worked on getting ready for soffit and siding work for the next day. Here is some of the siding progress.

Little Behind

Our Blog posts are a little behind because we were hitting it pretty hard, and took the last day and a half to recover. Here are some photos of the progress from work from a week ago (12-2-09) at least we took photos.

There is no way that we would be where we are today (with the house or in life) without the help from our family and friends. There is no way we can thank any of them enough.

A week ago, my Dad stayed home and finish graded our yard. Then it froze that night. The plumbers also put in the septic system and kitchen sink.



The carpet was installed and some more wood trim went in. Thanks Steve!

Cabinetry

The kitchen cabinets are mostly set.


One bathroom has a toilet that flushes - and there is a septic system too. Mirrors are safer when they are hung on the wall than in a box on the floor.


Michele has put in all of the interior door knobs and strikes. See?!
