Picture explanations - The first two show the difference in the slate tiles before and after they have been cleaned and sealed. The rest are different shots of the kitchen, the cabinets and the appliances. A few trim pieces are needed but we know that the work will not end for a long time!
All of the pieces fell into place, well almost, and we moved into the house on Saturday December 22 and even spent the night there!
Despite more than a foot of new snow the tile folks showed up to grout the back splash and seal the slate floors and bathrooms. As they worked away the home inspector from the bank was suppose to show up and make sure that we actually built what we said we built. The closing on the permanent loan was scheduled for 3pm local and at 2:30 nothing from the inspector.
We went to the escrow company anyway and started signing papers. Well it turns out all the paperwork was not complete and since it was coming from MN we ran out of time due to the time zone differences. Back on Monday to finish that, however we are expecting another foot of snow so it will have to wait till the afternoon sp we can chase the powder. Oh wait Monday is 12/24 so maybe it will happen Wednesday 12/26.
We are living in the house hoping that the bank forgets about the loan! We spent Saturday moving our belongings and will continue that activity on Sunday. We only have a few large pieces to move and will borrow a trailer and few neighbors for that.
More later ......

Elsa in front of the camera doing some Vanna White impressions on those kitchen cabinets. Or perhaps the Jackie Kennedy tour of the dream house. How about some face!
