Tom just told me that it still doesn't quite feel real - doesn't quite feel like our home. We just keep chiseling away at out punch list. Sometimes it is tough - there aren't any daylight hours when we're both home from work and the weekends are too short! But it is so exciting to see things take shape...
the guest room floor that we finished last week -
soon to become temporary TV room until the basement is finished
I still need to grout it
(it matches the top of our shower)
after pouring the pedestal, we tiled the floor and then the wall row by row -
we installed the wood stove on Sunday, but ran out of daylight to secure the stove pipe to the exterior chimney - pretty cute!
The progress is pretty cool. There are lots of other things happening - Tom installed a dimmer for the dining table light, the ceiling fan in the guest room, the heater and thermostat in the guest room, and a number of other little things. I have slowly been bringing over more things from the trailer. There is still much to move, but there are fewer and fewer things we reach for and think - ah shucks, still in the trailer.
We also took a break from house work for future garage work - crazy, I know! We went and salvaged a trailer full of lumber from some buildings knocked down at Philmont. Tom thinks we scored enough to build the carport/workshop/coop - so I guess we have something to do next summer.
