Saturday, September 9

Update:
No photos. Sorry. Boring I know but I keep forgetting to take them. I will do it the next time I go there though because I left the camera in the car this time!

The sheetrock is hung - completely. And they are taping and mudding now. Whooooo Hooooo! This is the fun part. Next week they will finish with the mud and tape part, and texture the house. Then, hopefully on Monday or Tuesday of the following week, we will be able to paint.

My cabinets are being delivered next week. I can't wait to see them!

The garage door is on. It's looking pretty cool. It looks like it's wood, but it's vinyl. Very different. I love it.

One deck is done. The other one is nearly done. The patio is done.

I feel like I be on that home makeover show that stamps DONE on all the projects.

The home stretch..... it's so nice to be this close. We can see the end. It's not bad. So far, only 3 1/2 months. We will probably be finished in about 4 1/2 months. Considering it is about 2700 sq. feet on the main floor and about 1500 finished in the basement, that's pretty darn good.

We're getting a little tired of living in our cramped quarters. Everyone is a bit edgy and in each other's space. The boxes are piling up as we pack what we aren't using for the second time around.

And me - I'm deep in the thick of choosing colors. Trying hard to make a bold statement, but I'm not daring enough to do a whole lot. Basically, here is what I've got:

Most of the house: Berkshire Beige
Master Bath: blue grey
Den: BLUE
Laundry Room and Half Bath: Waterbury Cream
Girls Rooms: Their choice

I know, boring beige. Can't help it. I'm just that way.

I have to get some photos on this thing!

Sometimes you can throw in one wall of color with beige to spice it up - I like that. I'm thinking about doing it in my office. Just a thought.
