Count Down

We're in the final stretch, the move-in is scheduled for April 12th.

The interior paint is finished...

The front door is in, as are all the switches and outlets.

The plumbing is all in.  This is the downstairs half-bath.  The problem with a triangular sink is trying to figure out which way it should aim.  We're going to try the other way.

The sinks and faucets in the downstairs master bath...

The cool guest bath faucet -- everything even works, though it may be a bit soon to try the shower.

The tub is in!  This is the first time we've seen one like this in person, so we're glad we like it.

The kitchen sink is attached this time, complete with faucet!  OK, so not quite all the outlets are in.

So, what's next?  The hardwood floor folks will be in all week working the floor over, so things should look a lot different next week.  See you then!

Vertigo

No more vertigo for us...

now that the balcony has a railing!

Not that we've actually tested that theory.  We have to wait until the painters let us out.

Speaking of the painters, they've finished all the doors.  That's the front door on the island.  They've also finished the ceilings and are working on the walls.

The next thing we need to figure out is what to do with the yard.  We're thinking blacktop. Or maybe a koi pond.  Well, maybe not...  OK, the truth is we're thinking of a couple of shore pines near the road, a camellia in the middle of the yard, and a lot of other really cool plants whose identities we're hoping will magically pop into our minds.  But first we need some dirt.
