Christmas, The House & Big News

Well, here we are folks--Christmas is only a week away. It's truly a merry and bright time of year with joy filling the air just about everywhere we go. I sure hope that's your experience as well!  Tis the season...

...to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Oh no! Now I've gone to singing. I apologize and warn you in advance that my singing has the unique ability to injure your eyes. On the flip side, be glad you can't hear it!

Progress, Progress and More Progress

Almost every day, we drive over to the house, and almost every day, we find something new has been completed or is in the works. 

First, a little setback.
While looking at the floor near the big sliders...

...Geo noticed these instructions.

Apparently, they weren't able to complete the floor because the sliding door needed to be moved an inch!  

One measly inch!
Apparently, in the floor world 
an inch is not measly.

I'm happy to say, however, it 
was fixed in a timely manner!  

The front door is in. 
It needs to be painted yet 
and hardware attached.  
It will be painted black.

Sinks are in throughout the house.
This is the master bath.

And faucets too.

All the tile work is nearly done as well!
Master bath shower.
It's a curbless shower (no door). 
On the right, you can barely 
see the still-untiled seat. 
I'll be posting better photos soon. 

The guest room bathroom.
Before shower head.

With shower head and knob.
Is it called a knob?
I bet it's a 
Water-Control Thig-A-Ba-Bob.
And
I bet it's an industry insider term.
No, I don't know what industry
 but it was probably invented 
by a guy named Bob.
 
The kitchen faucet we selected back in January was no longer available so we had to pick another one. 

We like it better than our first selection!
It has a couple different sprays.
Here's a crazy spray! 
I love it! 

Kitchen backsplash.
More love!

The lighting over the island and in the 
dining room has been installed as well!

The stonework on the house is 
almost completed in this photo.

Stonework has been completed 
on the back patio fireplace.
The tile on the patio floor above is the same tile that's throughout the house with the exception of the bedrooms.  They'll have carpet. 

The patio extension.


The sprinkler system has been started.
As of a couple of days ago, 
it is almost complete.

The driveway has been poured!

And it's dried.

We get two trees and they only offer four kinds to choose from. A couple of days ago, they asked us to make our choice and mark where we wanted them.   

We chose Shumard Oaks and opted to put them in the front, one on each side of the house.  We'll add more trees after we move in.  

And that brings us to... 

The Long Awaited, 
Really Big 
and 
Very Exciting News! 

We meet our Super for 
Buyer Orientation on January 20th
and
we close on January 27th! 

Woo-hoo!

More soon.  

Feeling Grateful & Smiling Big,
Donna
