Day 113 - Finishing Touches

We have spent the last five nights at a local hotel while the last bit of finishing work is completed on our house. Needless to say we are more than ready to move in.

The last of the flooring went in today with carpet on the stairs and in the downstairs bedrooms. The plumbers have been in to install fixtures, tub, sinks, and toilets. Comcast was in to hook up the cable, phone, and Internet.

Since my last post, we've also had the counter tops installed, as well as most of the lighting. Some of our light fixtures are on back order. We also had our stairs, sidewalk and back porch concrete done.
