I know that there have been several people checking in here for updates on the house. I am so sorry that we haven't been keeping up well.
Things have been busy and crazy. We have had Del at the house working almost every day since we moved in. The plaster work was all horrible and had to be re-done. So even though all of the painting was done, it all got plastered over and has to be re-done. I have been waiting to post photos of the inside of the house until this was done. The estimate is that the patching will be done this next week.
After that we have a small amount of trim work and some siding and shingle work to be done and then it will all be done. Oh, I am forgetting about the yard work. Oh, and we are starting construction of Jacob's new room in the basement next week. But after that, then it will all be done!
So I guess I should mention that in our few weeks home, we have had 2 gas leaks (one of which was major, not sure how the house didn't explode), 2 sewer back ups, a fire in the dishwasher, a leaky water, a shower that didn't work, new furniture that wouldn't fit upstairs or downstairs, phone service nightmares, and a couple of misc other dramas. Knock on wood, things have kind of quieted down. I dare say, we are almost back into our normal rut!
I do promise that very soon we will post some photos of the inside of the house. We are pretty happy with how it has all turned out. Oh, and stay tuned, we are planning some kind of open house/house re-warming very soon. If we could just get them to finish the job!
