The plumbers came back this week and hooked up all the faucets, toilets, hot water heater, and installed the connections for the refrigerator and dishwasher. The replacement wood floors arrived on Tuesday, which after spending two days acclimating to the climate of the house, allowed for installation to start on Thursday. Tim has been splitting his time between the house and a remodel project at Valley Building Supply. Tim worked on the floors Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. He finished the installation in the living room, foyer, and most of the dining room. He just needs to finish the dining room, start the office, and the upstairs hallway. We also received in the wood stair treads, banister, and pilasters for the staircase. Early this week, or maybe it was late last week, the excavators finished moving the dirt that was stored on the adjacent lot and leveled up our back yard. We really needed the extra dirt, it looks great. After talking to several people I decided to take some advice of purchasing some compost from the local mushroom plant to amend the soil to help grass grow. They filled my 5x10 utility trailer so high that the mound was almost taller than my 4Runner. I bought 3 loads, one for the front yard and two for the back. I'm sure I could use a few more loads but it was so time consuming waiting in line that this might have to do. Katie and I assembled our new kitchen table that we ordered. It has been in boxes at her office and we couldn't stand waiting any longer with the kitchen so close. Billy, the electrician, is supposed to be back to finish up some of the final electrical work this week. I also expect Tim will finish up the wood floors. We moved a few boxes of plates and glasses to the house this week so we can start washing dishes while Tim is finishing up. We expect to move some more in next weekend over Easter weekend.
