And nobody is over there.....

I have been a bad blogger lately and not updated in quite awhile. Well, it's because nothing has been happening. The contractor returned and we thought we would get some momentum but I guess there was a run on tile. The house was basically void of any people for more than a few days. I did see the painter truck once or twice. He painted a couple of things. We got some of the baseboards installed and painted in the carpet areas and a few staples pulled out of part of the kitchen floor. So discouraging :(

But, the good news was the tile was started (finally) over the weekend. Hopefully we won't have to wait till next weekend for it to get continued. The painter truck was over there this morning and a mystery van.

The bad part is that we have to start moving in there next weekend and it is in no way ready for occupancy. There is no bathrooms, no flooring, no kitchen, and the kitchen backsplash has yet to even be demo'd. I'm a little worried, but we have to move in there before March 1st. That's when we absolutely have to be out of our rental.

Shopping Day

Too bad you guys don't get to see what we picked out......

I'll leave you with this instead:

I don't think I'll ever tire of our view :)

A Room with a Door

Our doors came today and are being installed. I am glad we went with these doors. There are so many straight lines in the home, I rather like the small curve in the doors. I can't wait to see them painted and the hardware installed.

First door I saw :)

Weird light, but a tease of our door hardware

We got Mud

Passed the screw inspection and the walls have been mudded. The house is awash with white dust. It is absolutely filthy with a layer of plaster dust on just about everything. If I take the boys there, they come out covered from head to toe.  They look like the rolled in the mud. I hope they plan to clean before putting the carpet in.

Shower Walls, ready for tile

Oooooops

Screw Test

So work has pretty much come to a slamming halt. The contractor went on vacation and the drywall guy came and put up walls! Yay for walls but now we have to wait for the county inspectors to come and inspect the walls and count the screws. Guess they wanna make sure the walls don't fall down.
