Possibly and quite probably, I am slightly obsessed with progress on the house at this point. My projected move-in date is two days away. We still have no water. We have two potential well spots picked out and we’re trying to get a new witching. With a new witcher. In fact, TWO witchers. Trust…and verify.
In the meantime, we have the first light fixture!
And the flooring is finished in the living room/kitchen/dining room.
And it’s heading down the hall.
Ever wonder how people decide which way to lay hardwood? According to Steve-the-Builder, you lay it in whatever direction the hallway goes. Makes sense when you think about it that way. Fewer cuts.
With the wood down in the kitchen, they’re bringing in the cabinets. They’ll start installing the kitchen today. (See the dishwasher?!)
Water or no water, we’ll start moving things over this weekend. Weather is against us–rain and snow are in the forecast. I don’t care. I’m going to start moving things over. The house is going to be ready. It’s the outside elements that aren’t cooperating. Me, I am dogged in my determination.
Even if it means I have to drive up the side of the hill again to get under this tree that fell across the road to get there.
And we readers of your Blog never tire of your wonderful pictures and stories of all your sweet animals! -

I love your flooring – do you mind telling me what kind it is and the color. Love hearing about your progress and your determination to move it on the date you set. Hope you find water!

And like I said before, love the flooring. You are doing a great job of choosing everything. Can’t wait to see the cabinets when they are installed. What are your countertops going to look like?

It’s looking great Suzanne! The flooring is beautiful. If anyone can get water in time, you can! You’re one determined woman!

Great floor — I’ve laid mine the “wrong” way, up and downstairs. Oops. Well, if I win the lotto, I’ll have someone lay new flooring the right way.
Fingers crossed for the water!

Shirley, the cabinets are oak, too, and the countertops are a laminate. (The only laminate we’re using in the house.) If we want to change anything later, countertops are easier to change than flooring or cabinets, so the cost-cutting happened on the countertops.
lintys–yes, that is a garden window! Isn’t that fun?

By the way, if anyone is interested in looking at this paint for a future painting job of their own, the paint color is called Darby Creek and that is from a Wal-Mart paint chip card, though we took the card to Home Depot and had it custom mixed using Behr paint.

Good luck with it.
Maybe the weather will cooperate and you can get moved in no matter what..well get stuff moved in at least.

I think the water will find you, being attracted to the sheer force of your determination.
The light fixture looks great and the floors are fab.
