Progress is continuing, slowly but surely, on the new home.  All of the rooms have had the painting finished except for the kitchen.  Neutral colors have been chosen for each room with white paint being chosen for the window frames.  Here is what our master bedroom looks like with finished paint.

The kitchen is still in disrepair as it’s kind of the hub for all the tools, materials, and miscellaneous items needed while we fix up the house.  The laminate floor was taken up so that we could put our own tile laminate flooring down.  The wallpaper was stripped off the walls which, after 3 days, caused some severe shoulder pain for me that I’m still recovering from.  Needless to say, I will not be doing that again.

Also, last week while I was in Tennessee our 2 fences got put in and they are just gorgeous!  So happy that we decided to have them professionally installed.  They look amazing.  The 5 foot black chain link fence is where the agility field will be located.  The 6 foot wood privacy fence is located around our garage and house.  It will give us enough space to put in a pool next year and allow the dogs some running around room.

We still have a few items left to be done before we will start moving in.  The hardwood flooring in the living room and bedroom are scheduled to be finished early next week. Furnace and AC will be go in at the end of next week.  New pressure tank and new pressure tank location in our utility room will be completed this week.  We are also getting some quotes for some electrical work we need done for not only the AC, but also for us and our preferences. All light switches are placed as if your main entry is the front door. However, our main entry will be the back door so we have to get light switches placed appropriately for that.  We also need to install the kitchen floor, accept delivery of our new refrigerator, buy a new stove, and buy and assemble the kitchen island we decided to put in place.  Once all of that is done, we can finally move in!  Middle of November is hopefully the target date.
