Merry Christmas!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoyed a cozy day with family and friends! We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon with Jon's family, followed by a large dinner with friends at my parent's.

We are getting close on the house, with an official move-in date by January 22nd! Things are really coming together, with a working kitchen, carpets installed, and hundreds of feet of trim going up each week!

Our first bathroom is operational, between the toilet upstairs and the shower downstairs ;-) The master bath is getting tile this week and the countertop for the kitchen and bathroom should come soon, with the kitchen tile backsplash one of the last arrivals in January. Once all the tile and trim are in, our painters and hardwood floor guys will come back to do the last coat!

 And the siding is almost done, with just a few tricky spots left for last. We have a few other things to troubleshoot, such as a leaky freezer and an exorbitant electricity bill which we think means the wiring is screwed up somewhere...

We hope you have a wonderful start to the new year, filled with new hopes, friends and family! We are looking forward to a new year of enjoying the project that has consumed our lives for the last nine months, especially because we'll have it to ourselves until August when we'll be blessed with a third member of the family, if all goes well ;-) We got our Christmas wish!
