Week 20 - Friday

The painters did return and got all the beige walls painted - everything but master bed and bath, Audrey's room and dining room.  It looks really good!  They also stained the posts outside, but it was supposed to match the front door and as you can see it doesn't- we are looking into that.

Looks like Stevie Wonder picked out our colors

Week 20 - Thursday

Finally got the painters out here today.  Looks like they painted all the trim and doors.  It looks really good!  Hope they are back again tomorrow.

Thank you Grandma & Grandpa Taylor for hanging out with Audrey today!

Week 20 - Wednesday

No work on the house again today.  This is turning into a pretty boring blog...

Apparently everyone is waiting on the painters to finish and they are held up at another job.  The countertops are being made now and with any luck will go in end of next week.  The plumber won't come until the countertops are installed.  The electrician won't come until the painters are done.  And around and around we go :(  We were told it would be 3 weeks till move-in.  And were again warned that there likely won't be anyone working Wed, Thurs or Friday of next week...great.

Anyone else looking forward to 102 degrees tomorrow with only one window AC unit?

Tuesday

No work on the house today.  So frustrating...

Update on our garden.  The pumpkins are getting big, have about 4.  Two little watermelons.  Carrots look good.  Ate one of our onions.  Spinach is past its prime and lettuce is on its way out too. 

It's round like me!

Week 20 - Monday

The trim-guy framed the posts, front and back, in cedar.  They look really nice.  They will be stained same as the front door. 

And that's it...

Asked the contractor an estimated move-in date.  He said it may be around the time we go on vacation.  Also said there isn't much left to do.  Sooooo, why will it still take 4 weeks?  Oh, maybe its because they only do one thing a day.  (I do have another option for the Stevens vacation destination if Colorado continues to burn- Cropsey!  Everyone can help us move)

Our rain dances didn't work so we watered all the trees tonight (over 40) and discovered the dog fence was cut in several different spots and one tree perished from their moving dirt around for the final grade.

Week 19 - Friday

Well the promise of workers fell short.  All that was done today was the install of basement windows. 

I can hold my head up now!

Week 19 - Thursday (aka day of rest)

No update for yesterday because nothing was done.  I don't just mean you wouldn't recognize what was done.  No one was here working!  We are assured people will be working today.  They better be...
