Week 20

I know the week is not over yet but will just do a post anyway. On Monday there was still some construction happening here. Actually, on Saturday while we were out shopping our friend came and did more work on out window shelves. Then Monday, the trim around the bedroom windows got done, before the guys moved outside to start the work of screening in the porch. Inside the house, the cabinet folks were here and the countertops got finished, and the vanities in the bathrooms got installed. So far they have no doors or drawer fronts, but those are coming next week, and in the basement the drywallers were finishing up the sanding. Tuesday the plumbers came in and did the bathroom faucets, and installed the range hood, and a few other things. And the electrician came in the afternoon and finished up some projects that he needed to do. A picture of our dining room suite....we bought a folding table and 6 folding chairs in the city the other day and this is what we will use till we have time to go out and shop for a different set.

Our comfy bed. After 8 months of sleeping on an RV mattress, our bodies were in need of a decent bed and we have spent two peaceful nights on this one, soft enough to cushion our achy bones. Our night tables are our camping tables. We have our clothes in the closet, and our shower nearby, and we don't have to turn it off in between to conserve hot water.....

This morning, after enjoying a warm soak in the hot tub, which Kerry filled yesterday, after finishing up the screen on the porch, we ate breakfast and watched the sunrise out the east windows. It was beautiful! Then Kerry went out and helped with the basement floor pour at Erik's ...............

and I decided to try out my new oven. Baked a cake and some muffins as well as some cookies. The oven seems to work.

There is still much to do. Kerry is working outside on his drainage, and eavestroughs. I have windows to clean, nail holes to fill, and then another coat of paint of the trim. The basement needs vacuuming after all the sanding to clean up the dust so it doesn't track up the stairs, the basement could be painted, and we should be working on the laundry and bathroom so that we can use those rooms. There is lots of shelving needed in the closets, and more lights, and on and on. So, NO we are not done, but we are HOME!
