Monday after the storm

It's Monday morning, I'm sitting at work (probably supposed to be working) and am about to send Ann an email somewhat agreeing to moving dates. I think I'm starting to see that glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. You're probably thinking that with a week, no wait, four days until occupancy permit, that light should be a lot of brighter than a glimmer. Maybe, but between the to-do's we've still had to do and the things still going on in the house, there still seems there's a pretty substantial list.

But, all that said, we had a productive weekend. We picked up shower rods, a door bell, the duct cover for the kitchen hood and a light for the nook in Cailin's room. Small things, sure, but we got them and crossed them off the list.

Supposedly, we'll have some big milestones this week. All the lights are supposed to be installed today. Tomorrow the flooring guys will be out to put the final coat on the wood floors. That also means all the protective covering on the floor will come off. That might not seem like much, but it's that covering that keeps the house looking like its in that perpetual state of construction. And then finally, carpet should be laid later this week.

I think all the kitchen appliances will be installed too. They got pulled inside to acclimate... I assume... before their installed.

I think the only significant delay will be the counter in the laundry/mud room. Which reminds me, I need to order hooks for the "lockers". I've been looking at two options. This hook is a bit more fun, but maybe too fun? It does come in multiple colors...



This hook is a bit more conventional, but has a nice modern/contemporary look.


So, that's about it. We survived the hectic three-birthday weekend. I need to work some house pictures into a post. Oh, that's the other thing we're waiting for... that damn front door! It's actually in the house, laying in a bedroom with a first coat of paint. Hopefully, that makes it onto the house later this week...hoping, hoping, hoping...
