We're moved in!!

There's still some work to be done (kitchen cabinets, closet shelves, and light fixtures) but having a home has never felt so good!

Pictures will come later...

The floors are done! Move-in is scheduled for tomorrow!

Here's the living room:

Finally, a toilet and sink! The toilet is a Toto flushometer-type, the only kind that would fit in that corner. (The sink is on a temporary stand until I can make a cabinet with a marble top.)

Saturday's photos are a little deceiving...we won't be able to move in until Thursday. By then the floors will have their final coat and the bathroom fixtures and all the electrical work will be done.

True to the title of this blog, we just moved to the fifth temporary living situation since all of this began. We hope that this will be our last!

Trust me, the floors are even more beautiful in person! (click on the photos to enlarge them)

Friday - 10/1/09

We're in the home stretch! All the tools, etc. we moved into the kitchen yesterday and the maple floors are ready for finishing today. Here are the floors before sanding:

The bedroom (unfinished floor):
Tiling and trim work in the bathroom is complete! All that's left is grouting, sealing the marble, painting and installing the fixtures.
Here's the shower with the toilet in its box...with the beautiful white marble sill:

It's already October...and we're still nomads!

New pictures are coming...dead camera batteries last night meant no pictures...
