Translation: we have countertops - granite in the kitchen, marble in the master bath - and the woodwork has been stained. We love it all; the pictures speak for themselves.
Lots of you have been asking when we will be moving in. Our current reply: who knows? We had been hoping to have Thanksgiving turkey on a grill on the new deck, but that's not going to happen. Painters will be working for at least one more week, then we still have flooring (hopefully their schedules get them working as soon as the paint is finished), plumbing, lighting, a deck, concrete... the list goes on and on.
So, maybe by Christmas??? We've learned that it's better not to know for sure than to have a specific date in mind, get our hopes up, then be disappointed ... again.
Patience is a virtue, right?
