Its Done..kinda.

Last week turned out to be the push week to finish the house with different people in and out of it everyday.

We now have only three items left; the lower bathroom vanity, the baseboard on the upper level and the plate to cover the three holes in the granite couter top where there was only suppose to be one. All of these items will be done this week.

We though did have Thanksgiving Dinner in the new house.

The kitchen has turned out real nice.

All of the lights and electrical work is done.

The Sat TV is in and working.

The carpet has been laid.

It looks great, and once we are done with folks walking through it, I think it will be more like home.

All of the leftovers of construction have now been cleaned out with the porta potty and rolloff removed just before Thanksgiving. Derek piled the leftover lumber that we are keeping in back out of sight, and the Marlys has washed the floors to the point that it doesn't seem as if she is just re-arranging the dirt anymore.

The swinging bookshelf door was quite the hit with the DTV and carpet installers.

Here are some quick shots of the rest of the house.

The lower level media room (or will be if I get a big screen sometime in the future).

The stairway.

The master bedroom looking toward the bathroom.

By the way the bath tub fit.

The fireplace put out enough heat on Thursday to heat the house to a "Marlys temperature", which is beyond that endurable by normal humans.

Next weekend the XMAS tree goes up...and the finishing work continues. I think we could spend a whole day walking around with touch-up paint to cover the nicks and marks of the final construction work.

Pat, looks absolutely great! Congratulations, it must feel great to get to this milestone. Cathy and I have waiting for this post to see if you had gotten through all the final things. Now you just need to get through the final pile of bills! Oh, and all the new furniture you need now!!
