I can't believe that it has been a month since I have posted! What is really amazing is that in the last month we have finished the house! Thats right, the house is virtually finished. After the roof was done we had about a week before we started painting. The paint process was SO tedious. I had no idea that I was going to have to fill every nail hole in all the trim and then sand it all smooth, not to mention we had to sand all the walls after they were primed and dried. We were very fortunate to have help from Kevins parents and brother. They all took time out of their schedules to help us out. Kevins dad was a painter in college so his expertise really came in handy. Even with all their help it took almost 2 weeks of painting after work to get it all done. Now we have lots of touch ups to do and one more door. I don't think we will be painting anthing again for a very long time!

While we were painting the kitchen cabinets arrived and were installed. I am so happy with them! They are absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Ryan installed light fixtures and switches as fast as the paint would dry. Paul and I went shopping at Lowes for vanity's, toilets, and other random supplies. Who knew there would be so many toilets to choose from! Counter tops came in and were installed last Thursday and the appliances were all put in the next day. That really changed the look of the house. The bathrooms were also finished on that day. Our heads are still spinning!

This week we passed the final electric inspection and the final plumbing inspection. There was a minor adjustment that needed to be made on the stair case but that is supposed to be finished today and we should have our certificate of occupancy today or tomorrow. That means we could be moving some things this weekend! The carpet will not be installed until next Monday so we will have to wait on the bedrooms, but after the carpet is in we are all finished! I can hardly believe it.

I will try to post pictures tomorrow. I know I keep saying that, but as you can see we have been very busy. Hope everyone is doing well and we will talk to you soon!
