Nothing like a blizzard to "cool" us down!

Yesterday we were scheduled to begin the siding of the house. What a perfect day! As you can see the siding will have to wait a week or so. Let's hope that the weather holds off so they can finish the job soon! We were also expecting the cabinets to arrive on WEDNESDAY (the same day as this photo!). Maybe we will get it on Friday.



The flooring is done. We love it. The wood floors now stretch from the front door all the way into the kitchen, which makes all the rooms look bigger and spacious.



We also got our new front door. It brings light inside the living room and at the same time we can see "who is coming for dinner". We are also happy because now we can actually see who is going to rob us before opening the door. The old door did not even have a "peep hole".

We are very pleased with the construction. They keep the place cleaned and organized and the whole job should be done by the end of this month!

Almost there!

The new windows have been installed. We love our bay window! One tip: if you watch all those shows on TV where they demolish a whole area and 30 minutes later your dream room is ready for you to enjoy, forget it! For example: the windows have been placed but now they need to be framed. One of the windows needs sheet rock which is done by someone other than the person who put in the window - go figure! This someone else will show up two days later. The tiles are placed in the kitchen but we need to wait a couple days to dry in order to put in the grout. I wish I could say "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and everything would be in place! The contract states that the job should be done in 120 days not counting any delays due to weather or materials. It is snowing today which might delay the installation of the siding. We still are on target. The dust too! Everything in the house had to be covered by plastic but it's not enough! I know, I don't seem optimistic but reality is that it will be over soon and completed as we had dreamed of.
