Time to move!

After a busy week, we have three out of the six final permits finished, and the remaining ones will be issued shortly. It's exciting to walk around and see a "real house" after working on a construction site for the last eight months. We're planning on moving this weekend, so gentle readers, you're all welcome to come heft some boxes this Saturday. Seriously.

The television is hooked up over the mantle, and the new living room furniture is staying wrapped until the floors are finished Tuesday.
The kitchen appliances are hooked up, and the lights are all in place. This is the view from the living room.
A shot of the kitchen from a corner of the dining area. Sean and our buddy Jay picked up the Amish table we ordered this fall, so we'll set it up later this week.
The plumber finished this week, so we finally have complete bathrooms. This is the powder room in the front of the house between the kitchen and entry.

The carpet throughout the house looks great, and the carpet layers worked until almost 9:30 Friday night finishing the job. Moving upstairs, the loft is bright and sunny.

We're especially excited about the double sinks in the master bath.
The soaking tub is all hooked up and ready to go.
The glass for the shower will be installed midweek, and after that the bathroom will be complete.
Sean built a roaring fire, and Peter delighted in trying to sneak sticks of kindling from the bucket on the hearth. The house is cozy, and we're looking forward to making it our home for years and years to come.
