The Edwards Build a House

Wow.  So, I guess our initial inclination that mid-September will come and go was correct.  Very little progress has been made at the house lately.  A lot of waiting.  It's incredibly painful!

Tasks left to be done include all of the faucets and cabinet hardware, many lights, painting, replacing the broken window, installing the carpet in the basement, installing the appliances, installing the irrigation system and sod .... details, details.    One setback was the butcher block counter top for the bar - apparently the store required a re-do due to some mark or issue on the wood.  It isn't anticipated to arrive until the 20th. 
Everyone told us that this final stretch would seem like forever, and boy is it!


On the other hand, there is nothing urging us to move into the house quickly except the anticipation and the changing of the season (again).  Kai does do quality work, although it seems there are other houses in the area going up faster than ours!  We are lucky that we are biding our time in the apartment rather than waiting on the closure of the new house before leaving our old one, or some similar situation.  I'd like to take some time moving in.


These last details are what seem to pull everything really together, so that is probably why I am so anxious to see it played out.  It is frustrating, but we'll continue to play along.
What we were surprised to see already was some landscaping of a few plants, trees and bushes!
