Progress report

Yesterday, Karen and I figured out how our closets are going to look - we did a walk-through with the closet guy and picked out wire-frame shelves for all the closets and the pantry. After that, we headed over to the glass place to look at shower doors. These are not included in the price, so if we get shower doors, they will be extra.

While we were doing the walk-through, the wood floor in the dining room was being installed. The wood goes from the dining room, through the hall, past the stairs, through the kitchen and breakfast area, and into the sunroom. Lots of square footage. The carpenters put down backing for all the tile, so there was an extra layer on the floor in the entry, the mudroom, and the bathrooms. It was apparent someone got the wrong message at one point, because the same underlayment had been laid down in the sunroom, then removed (the adhesive left behind the telltale marks).

Outside, the siding is almost completely done. The only part not finished is around the fireplace and, last I looked, some of the trim. But more than half the trime was done, and if the weather holds today, I would think that could be finished today. Here's hoping!
