Finished...sort of...

September brought with it an amazing amount of rain. We only had 5 days without rain that month! So needless to say, we have nto gotten too far. However, we do have some good news to report:

The plumber has come and gone, leaving behind him a perfect plumbing system. Yay! And Jay and Ryan finished putting up the drywall.

Soon after, the drywall finishers showed up and "finished" the walls, filling in the seams and screw holes. They will be back Monday or Tuesday to sand it down and touch up anything that may need more mud. After they do that, they will be appling a texture to the walls to minimize any visible settling cracks and smudges. (we do have 5 messy kids, so smudges are just part of the deal if Mom lets them visit!)

When they are fixing the walls, we will be in town buying the paint, countertops, flooring and cabinets. Once the painting and flooring are done, we can pretty much call it a done deal, as everything else takes very little time. Oh yeah - except for the wood trimming around windows and doors. That can take awhile. But we're on it, Mom, and you'll be coming "home" soon! :)
