Progress seems slow now but the oak floors are down, the trim is being filled, sanded, lacquered, sanded again, etc.  They will paint soon.  The site built cabinets are build.  There is a mountain of drawers in the garage waiting to be painted.

Yearend will pass without completion.  The builder now says mid-February or March 1st. Floors get finished Christmas week.  Cabinets go in the first week of January.  We still need a driveway.

They built the porch closet and did a really nice job.  Builders work in mysterious ways or at least ours does.  Who can say why the closet didn't go up with the walls but when they fix stuff, they do it right.

 

 

The retaining walls just need the cap now.

 

 

The Bluestone has been delivered and will go down soon.

 

 

The bathroom tile will also go down [up?] soon.

 

 

Meanwhile we still have 20 or 30 years of our 50+ year collection of stuff to get rid of.  Then there's a house to sell.
