Almost there!

Well,it's been a couple of weeks since I have had a chance to post on here. Not a ton is new, another round of waiting. But this weekend we are getting a lot done. The backsplash in the kitchen is being tiled, the floor in the bathroom and the foyer are baing stained. And Scott and Jason stripped the shingles and under lay off our front projection, it was leaking and they are going to put it back together 'properly' this time. When it was first put up it was temporary, more for looks than anything. We have gotten part of the stair rail up and the carpet runner on the stairs. We still need to order a turn for the bannister and pick out a newel post for the bottom step. Scott spent the better part of last weekend picking away at little things. He finished the trim in the kitchen, got most of the kick plate on the bottom of the cabinets. Sanded and repainted some bad spots that had been in the drywall. He also moved the TV again and got his surround sound speakers mounted. Tomorrow, both the tile guy and the concrete staining guy are coming back to finish up. On Monday the plumber is coming back to hook up the dishwasher, tub, sink and toilet. So we are hoping by the end of next week we should be 'officially' done. We have also been picking away upstairs where our bedrooms are, the wall in the stairway up to the third floor needed to be insulated and sured up. The kids rooms are pretty much organized as well. We hope to start working on our closet soon, so we have somewhere to put our stuff ;o)
