UPDATE on the house

We are about a week away from moving into the house. Hopefully, we will be moving in on Friday, September 4th, but that is subject to change. It may get pushed back a couple of days to insure completion. We'll see. As of right now, Jay - the contractor says most everything will be done and available for us to move in, but there will be some small projects to finish after we are there. The biggest change in the house is the paint. I can't tell you how great a coat of paint looks. It's amazing. There was a LOT of trim and doors to paint so the paint seems to be the biggest undertaking. They have completed all of their work minus some touch-ups and the inside is a more modern home. I love it. It's funny seeing something take shape.  We took a LOT of tile out of the entry and put in hardwood floors, we matched the floors in the formal living room and den. This just makes the whole space come together. The only problem now is furnishing the place. We'll get there, but I am finally seeing 'our home' instead of Maxine's house that we tore up.  Our painter has taken before and after pics that he wants to use because it's such a major change. He's supposed to send those to me, so I'll post them once I get them.
