Home stretch.

We can almost feel it now.  About two weeks back, we penciled in a closing date of Thursday, May 8th, and as of May 1st, there have been no objections or requests for extension from Mark the GC.  Looks like we're going hit it!

The rain garden is complete.  Planted were some grasses (can't remember the name) and several Clethra "Hummingbird" shrubs.  Little babies now, but we expect them to grow big & strong in no time flat.

O hai Sally Mander!  Wut r u doing in there?!? :-D  (We love Sally, she or he is always welcome at our home.)

Carpeting showed up on Tuesday the 29th.


The door hardware dudes were over again yesterday (4/30) to finish up their installations on the exterior doors (which had been using "construction" locks).  This is the Kwikset "Tavaris" handleset, in venetian bronze.  Quite handsome.

Carpet in the master bedroom.  It's a "frieze", and it is very soft and plush.

Carpet in the bonus room.

The fire-breathing dragon is installed.

Simple, effective design, industrial-quality components, and flawless fit & finish.

Yup.

ARRGGHHH!!  My kitchen is filthy and in total disarray!!  Brings to mind that old saying about sausage-making....

Spiffy fridge and microwave.

Close-up of the "built in" micro.  Fingerprints though...!

Dog wash station/outdoor shower fixture finally installed.  Tiles are in the garage, awaiting installation, and the PVC wall/door should arrive any day.
