One plank/door at a time

Is it level, she asked?
Terri and Bob put in the French doors without much difficulty, at least that's what Pat and I thought as we observed.
This is the only time Angela smiled while holding a plank of wood....almost finished!
The weekend work crew, Pat Pound, Terri Baker (holding our Baker), Angela with Campbell and Bob. Pat and Terri put in a lot of work and helped hang doors and lay floors ALL weekend. Thanks guys!

The appliances were installed today, photos soon.

The tornado inside

Some of Bob's trim work that goes to stainer tomorrow, we pick up the stained doors and window trim that is ready.
View of the great room, we laid that floor today, saw to the right will be moved into the basement so we can finish this weekend.
Entry way filled with boxes of wooden flooring planks; we need to finish great room, entry way and the loft.
The garage, left half is filled with construction debris and the remainder is the material the cabinet installers were using today.

We are crazy busy getting things finalized for the occupancy permit that will require an inspection next week. Appliances arrive Monday, putting the finishing touches on the beautiful kitchen. We've devoted our time to laying floor. Friends from Tacoma will come this weekend to help hang doors, lay floors and whatever else we can think of. We are anticipating a move in date of April 1. :)

Lights, water, SNOW!

Some of the latest photos:

Floor in the master bedroom is almost installed. Tough on the knees, let me tell you.
This is why no one has been able to get there for a week.
Bob at work on sanding wood for trim in the great room.
Still waiting on backsplash and appliances, but look at those lights!!
Master bath/sink area with marble countertops, lovely!
The most beautiful shower (before faucets it seems)...marble, slate and rock floors.
The tub in place with mosaic tub front and marble tub surround, also before faucets in place. Guess I need to take some more photos.

The plumbers and electricians, as well as the tilers have been very busy. Since the last update the countertops have been installed in the kitchen and bathrooms, the faucets and toilets have been placed and the light fixtures are 90% hung or mounted! It is looking like a real house we could live in soon. Our plans are to move out of the rental at the end of this month.

Since last week, however, no one has been able to get to the site to finish up their respective jobs. We've had non stop snow that has prevented the craftsmen (with their panel type trucks) from getting to the site. Bob and I have been a few times in a 4 wheel drive, and will be back there tomorrow.
