Halfway home!







When most people see drywall up, they think that the house is almost done.  I know from years of experience that we are truly only halfway there.  So much needs to happen after drywall.  And, most of it takes a long time to complete.  We still have the furnace to install, the septic pump and line, painting, trim, hardwood, tile, carpet, kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures, etc.


We have finally ordered the kitchen cabinets.  After much debate, we are using a local supplier, as opposed to Lowes.  I like to support the small, local shops when I can.  This guy didn't make it easy.  His customer service left alot to be desired, but when it came down to it, his price was competitive and his cabinets were of better quality.


Shannon will be listed for sale by the first week in January.  I am going to take some time off work to finalize the small details that need done there.  The builder expects to turn over keys by the end of January.  I'm expecting it to happen mid February.
