home stretch

it's crazy how fast they get built down here...

this past week the following was completed:
*the baseboards & trimwork, central air vents & other various minor details
*hardware for the doors installed
*driveway & front walk poured
*exterior stonework
*tile floors installed--foyer, kitchen, laundry room & both bathrooms
*carpet installed--office, family room hallway & all 3 bedrooms (wasn't supposed to be completed until Monday 1/16)
*kitchen cabinets installed (wasn't supposed to be done until some time this coming week)
*yard cleared of building debris in prep for upcoming landscaping

i fully expect that everybody has their fingers crossed for me here!!! just a few favorite photos from this last trip down there (and for some reason i apparently forgot to get one of the whole kitchen showing off the newly tiled floor. must have been the complete & total shock of seeing the carpet installed 2 days earlier than the builder said it would be. will have to remember to get one the next time i'm there.)

Well duh! If I was paying attention and reading your 'days until' thing, I'd know that Jan 31 is move day. How exciting!

It looks great! I LOVE the stone on the front of the house. Our kitchen cabinets look a lot like your new ones. :)

That looks great! It's a good thing you're taking pictures along the way; it's almost impossible for me to remember how it looked with just the studs up!
