Family Visit

While Chris and I were dropping off our light fixtures at the house on Saturday, we got a nice visit from Mom and Jim. The last time that Mom was at the house, it was still on a pile of rock and just a shell with 2x4s (??) framing each room. Now it is almost an inhabitable house!! It was Jim's first time at the lot so he got the detailed play by play from Chris and me, as well as a tour of Lot 17 which is very close to being completed. It was such a beautiful fall day and we got to check out some foliage views from the street too. It has been nice to see the transition from Summer to Autumn.

It's Coming Along

We have walls folks, real walls, some even with paint!! Chris and I think it is strange that the rooms are looking larger now that the drywall is up. You think it would be the opposite. Things are really coming along in the interior. All of the rooms have been drywalled, some crown molding is up as well as wainscotting. The painter has even made an appearance to start spraying Bone White onto the majority of the walls. If all goes according to plan this week, hardwood floors will be put down and maybe even kitchen cabinetry will be installed. Now THAT will be exciting!! Here are some interior pics for your viewing pleasure.

The New Mr. and Mrs. Santos

I have to give a shout out to Jeff and Angela who tied the knot on the most beautiful Sunday in October at the even more beautiful Wentworth by the Sea. Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. who are most likely en route to San Francisco/Napa Valley at this moment to celebrate their honeymoon in grand fashion. I wish them lots of love and happiness for years to come....and maybe they will be the next to make the transition to suburbia!!

Light Fixtures, Check!!

FINALLY, our last light fixture was delivered yesterday and I wanted to do a little dance of joy. I never thought that picking out light fixtures would be such a daunting task. What could be more daunting? Ummmmm, selecting the right light bulb? Compact florescent, standard or halogen? Soft white or bright white? Candelabra base, medium base, standard base? Who knew?
