We are in a bit of a lull this week.  The plumber finished up the bathrooms, the drywall is in, and now we wait for the tile guy.  The new front windows should be installed either Saturday or Monday, and our appliances for the kitchen will be here on Saturday.  Travis is off for the next two weeks so we are going to knock out some of the built ins and the exterior shutters.  There are so many little things to do such as baseboards (maybe that is not so little!), door stops, electrical switches and plates, along with paint touch ups.

July is going to be a hurry up and wait month.  The floors will be in on the 10th, and the kitchen cabinets will be in on the 25th.  Our goal for a move in date is still the beginning of August.  I am more than ready to get in and get settled.  My parents have been so sweet to open their home to us, but I'm sure they are ready to have their quiet time back!

Renovations like this are not for the faint of heart, but I am glad we are getting all of the mess done at once this time instead of living in it while we work.   We know how incredibly lucky we are to be doing this :)
