We were supposed to move in 1/27--tomorrow...

some photos from today:

The steps to the house have been completed and dry


The back splash--we had a pencil rail in there but due to the height of some of the outlets, we got rid of it. looks like we intended to have it this way from the beginning. Steve, the tile guy and I spent an hour placing the back splashes behind the stove and sink. hopefully it will be as pretty as the picture I have in my mind.

To my doubters... this mirror, looks perfect in this spot. the color looks funny due to the flash but let me just say I got  a "Que Fantastico" from all the work men and a round of applause." yes. the subs and I are tight.
they made a bench like thing to cover some vents. I wonder how best to use the space. its a nice bright attic and changing the paint color on the stairs really made a difference. Carpet to go in on 2/3
bath out and bath back in. Carlos built out the base around the tub today (per Carib's suggestion to angle the corners and extend by about 3 inches.  This will support the marble bath surround that Nelson came to measure in the evening.

Travis, our electrician, put in the sconces today. now to get Kenny from the glass place to measure the mirror and get it framed by Keith and Kim at MKB.

still waiting for the fancy seat. but at least the potty is in!

The shower is in. I'm just trying to remember what the last black handle circle is for.

shelves in the closet that I told Seth "this is where the monsters live"

The niche. I wanted a niche for shampoo and the like. Too bad when Steven carved out the niche, he poked his knife straight through to Daniel's room. another coat of paint please...

Seth's new BIG BOY BED delivered today from PBTeen.  Thank you Carlos for signing for said bed. This was a bizarre scenario where the delivery people were **gasp** EARLY and thus I hadn't made it back from drop off. I thought 9a-11a for sure meant noon. A pleasant surprise!

My beautiful light fixture. Who knew that if I had it right justified, I wouldn't be able to change the light bulb without removing the whole unit... nice catch Travis (and silent Steve that works with Travis) we centered it and now no problem

and here, a big problem. we need 6'8" clearance in a doorway. look at the tracks for garage door...dig down? move door? the newest "issue" to have arisen.

Travis the electrician commented on how nice the counter is "dear" (he calls me dear. that's odd... right?) and was sad when I told him it was a mistake and a white one will be coming to replace it.
A preview of the trim around the master sink. We are ripping out the marble back splash to put up the tile back splash bc it looks funny to put the trim directly on it. switch also has to be moved up. more and more painting. Thanks Folios.
