guess what?

I'm bagged...so this will be brief. We move in Sunday, the appliances get hooked up tomorrow, the house was cleaned today and the cabinet dudes (who said "this job will take 5 days"...they said that 3 weeks ago) finished 95% of their stuff.
This is a pic from the family room (back of the house) to the living room (front) of the house.



taken from the huge built-ins in the family room, to the kitchen...


taken from the kitchen, to the family room....the built ins will hold the TV and all sorts of 'fun' stuff.


The storage bin showed up today as well...full of who-knows-what really...I almost don't remember what's in there...but it is Xmas right?


We'll wake up to this view (hopefully minus the snow) from now on...

ahhhhhhhh........................

OK, time for an update (many have asked, little has been updated).
The new move-in date is December 20th...which is DEFINETLY happening. 
Since the last update we've had cabinet makers there installing all our, well, cabinets.
Below is "guy" installing the kitchen cabinets, I counted 19 drawers today....NINETEEN!
Amazing considering our old house had 6.

Then the railing guy was there, he did his thing in 2 days and we now have a railing. I think we're changing the 'corners' as we'd ordered squared, not rounded...but I digress.

The hardwood is totally done, and looks truly amazing. Oleg the Crazy Russian was a work horse, and a nice guy...Guten Tag Oleg (yeah...I know....German...whatever).
Next, we have the master ensuite (the Spa as we call it) and it's cabinet...holy nice!

umm...another railing shot....can't have enough right?

And now, the kids bathroom cabinet. All we need is the sink/faucet/countertop.


There you have it, the electricians were back (or are there) today installing the potlights (55 I think) and switches/plugs.

more soon...stay tuned!
