So much to celebrate!

We were at the house yesterday and were thrilled to see that the hardwood floors are nearing completion.  I'm sure when I stop today I will see the whole project done.  We were also thrilled to see our spring flowers popping up in the various flower beds.

Aren't they gorgeous!  Today I'm spending the afternoon at the house, weeding and making sure the beds are ready for more planting.  We think it smart to get in the groove of working in the yard because we will be doing that pretty much non-stop for the next couple of years with a 14,000+ square foot lot.

The cabinets and all of the plumbing fixtures have arrived and are stored in our garage.  We peeked at the cabinets and they are TIGHT!

This is what is sitting on the other side of our garage - something that is foreign to Keith and me.

Thank goodness we found John Cimbura and his company ReConstruct.  The project could not have gone more smoothly, he is a class act and we have not even come close to the 10% contingency budget that all of the experts say you must have at a minimum.  If you ever need a GC, John is your guy.  He estimated the job to be a 4-6 month project.  He shared that in order for it to be a four month project, all of the construction gods would need to be in their very best moods and that everything would need to go according to plan.  So, his recommendation was "plan on six months."  Well, we will likely be moving the first week of May which is four months.  He is THE BEST!!!!!
