Final items....

Howdy...

The end of October is coming fast upon us...so hard to believe!

Time sure flies.

We are having lots of fun seeing the final items being completed at the house!
Tom laid out travertine in the master bath on Saturday with the help of Papa Forrest. It took quite awhile laying it all out to see how they actually wanted to have it truly lay, but it ended up looking so beautiful. We are waiting for the thinset to dry before Tom grouts it.

These last few days Tom has been working on built in's for the closets. They are turning out great!! I can't wait to post the pictures of those built in's...I'm so proud of Tom. He is so talented and he plans it out in great detail. He measured how much the clothing sticks out of our current closet compared to shelf depth, etc.

We are hurrying to prep for the painters to come in to paint all the beautiful trim work this coming Wed. They will be there tomorrow to prep.

Thanks to John for hanging all the interior doors and putting on the trim. He did an excellent job!! The trimwork looks so great!

Today, mama and the kids will be heading out there to spend some time cleaning to prep for the painters. It will be quite the chore.

I keep thinkin of how my friend Meagan described running her half marathon and talked about how that last mile was the worst part of the run, knowing you are so close, but how you want to stop running so bad.

Tom and I are at that last mile and boy are we tired of this whole thing, but we need to keep running because we are so close to the end of the race!! Tom is doing a great job going out there everyday trying to accomplish a little at a time to get us all finished up!

The granite is going to be installed on Wednesday...it is beautiful!! I can't wait to see it installed. It's actually the cheapest stuff out, there...it being 2 cm (which is being phased out of the granite world so I've heard). It's called Santa Celia. It is so beautiful even if it is the cheapest out there!!

Once the painters are done at the end of the week we will have the electricians and plumbers come in for their finish work, hopefully by Monday or Tues., and have the carpet installed ASAP, hopefully by next Thursday or Friday...

Still have to take the time to upload the latest pics...hopefully soon!! I'll put a couple on here of the kids that were taken just the other day!
