The wood floors are complete and they installed the carpet in the bedrooms today. Tim has been working on the staircase. We really like the square newel post we picked for the base of the stairs. Jose has been working on repainting each of the interior rooms. He has also painted the hardiboard on the front and back of the house. I spent the weekend on a tractor tilling the yard. I sowed 240lbs of a fescue/bluegrass grass seed blend, 100lbs of starter fertilizer, 50lbs of lime, and 40 bales of straw. Now we just need a little bit of rain to get it to germinate. The garage doors were also installed this week. The doors are all insulated so it will be nice working in the garage in the winter. I also had them install high lift doors and a jack shaft garage door opener which provides for more room above a vehicle. The door openers are the neatest gadget in the house because the opener button shows the time, temperature, and automatically senses movement in the garage and turns on the door opener light so you never walk in to a dark garage. All the appliances are wired up so we have been cleaning out cabinets and we moved several boxes of dishes in to get us going. The only things we have left at the concrete driveway and steps, bricking the steps and mailbox, glass shower doors, and a few punchlist items. We plan to start moving a few pieces of furniture this weekend.
