Movin' On Up

Had to clear out of the rental.  That means our stuff gets packed into a couple corners of the house, and we get packed into a hotel room.  Again.  Just like the way we started this crazy adventure. It's deju vu all over again.

Curb Appeal

Landscapers have arrived to add a bit of beauty to our big patch of dirt.

Another Brick in the Wall

Lean On Me

Good to see the kids being so supportive of each other...

I knew we'd regret naming him Bench.

You...Light Up My Life...

In the beginning there was darkness. 

A formless and empty void.   

"Let there be light," 

and there was light. 

And the light was good, for it separated us all from the darkness.

 

 

Serenity Now!

Tile work in the steam shower has completed. Beyond expectations.  Now it just needs fixtures, steam unit, and a door to become my sanctuary.

add a TV and mini-fridge, and I'll never have to leave.

Rock All Night. (and party ev-er-y day)

Stone mason has arrived to add a sense of permanence to our home, in the form of a stone fireplace and porch columns.  I can already tell it'll be an amazing focal point to our living space.

Ebony and Ivory....

...side by side on my kitchen counters.

Forget the appliances. Plug in the coffee maker first.

Everybody must get stoned...

Granite counters have been fabricated and are being installed.  

 

 

This means that the finish plumbing and appliances can now be done.

Our Cab is here.

Kitchen cabinets have been installed.  They still need finishing details like crown & base molding and knobs & pulls, but they look great.   Counters have been measured and are about a week out.  Appliances are out there somewhere on their way...

We're totally floored...

The tile setters have just about completed doing their magic, so now all our floors are officially done.

Even covered in construction dust and unpolished, it looks amazing.

This turns me on...

Splish splash...
