Durrant and I are working hard daily to get things going on the house. I'm usually out there all day Tue/Thur/Fri and on Mon and Wed we both hurry out there after work to get stuff done. Then it is full bore on weekends. However, when there is a kid in the mix things simply don't go very fast. I am very grateful that I don't have a toddler that could trip and fall on the tack-strips everywhere, but I confess that I am lamenting the ease of getting things done without a little one underfoot.
Anyway, currently all the main walls are painted and we are working on the trim and doors, which we hope to get done tomorrow-ish. On to the kitchen! We are hoping to get the kitchen painted and get all the tiling prepwork completed the rest of this week. Tiling will be the project of the day on Saturday/Monday. The next weekend will be focused on putting in the cabinets (thank you Lowe's for the pre-fab's, they will be great!). If any of you locals are bored and would like to help, watch a 5 month old, or want a tour of the house you are welcome to stop by. Odds are we will either be there, or on our way there. :)
At some point we will be picking up then putting in the wood/laminate floor, the appliances, the bed and the furniture. We are tossing around the idea of possibly putting in canned lighting in the front room, but we'll see how much money it we have left over.
Maybe, just maybe, we will be moved in by Christmas!

Love the construction, I know I do!
Maybe we can work out a trade babysitter thing so I can go work on my basement!
