Moving right along...

The drywallers and finished mudding and taping. We are now waiting for the texture truck to show up and spray texture. Hopefully Thursday this week.

The outside work is nearing completion. We dumped MORE dirt on the lot today. Good grief. Dirt is expensive. Who would have thought? The landscaper will be there this week to dig it all up and seed. Our goal is to have grass by next spring. But our track record with grass is not good at all. So, I will say a prayer that we're doing all the right things to make that happen. It's a good chance it will, if the morning glory that is growing all over the place doesn't first take over and win the race.

The mason finished the concrete work this week. I now have a front step and a pad off the back of the garage. whoooo hoooo.

The painter is painting the trim WHITE right now and the island cabinets BLACK. I am super excited about that! When the drywall is textured, he will start painting.

I lined up the tiler for next Wednesday.... I think that's pushing the envelope a little since the texture truck isn't there yet, but I'm having a little faith that it might happen! :)

Given the number of cabinets the guys unloaded the other day, I am pretty sure the amount of time I estimated to trim is going to be WAY OFF.

That's all for now... I'll be posting lots of pictures in the next few weeks as we near the home stretch!
