Fall Color

In the last couple of weeks we've made a lot of progress on the exterior and interior of the house. The front and back porch decking is down, and the rails are being worked on. The furnace and well have been hooked up and are chugging away. Interior paint is up and awaits touch ups closer to the move in date.

Sean and Mickey were busy this week installing the kitchen, bath, and laundry room cabinets. The counters will be measured this week, and installation should take place the last week of November. Here is a view of the kitchen from the dining room.
Aimee and her mom Linda were busy staining wood for the back porch railing and a few other oak pieces that will be used to finish off the porch posts. Sean helped get the staining set up while Peter supervised the work from his Pack n Play.
We have been lucky to have a mild fall, and temperatures today were in the low 60s. Sean made a cozy fire in the fireplace, and Peter was happy to take what will surely be one of many naps alongside it.

The front porch railing in the making. Notice the newly stained and finished boot and cap on the post.
Tile work will continue this week, and interior doors will also be delivered. The septic field site is prepped and ready for Jesse to come out soon. It's exciting to check off items on the to-do list that seemed so far away when we broke ground in June, and we look forward to moving in after Christmas.
