Dear Family and Friends,
The pace is really picking up. Hardwood floors are in upstairs. The master bath is tiled in slate and stone. The master bath wood walls are cypress (half-done). Fans are in. Gutters are on. Trim is painted downstairs. Second coats of wall paint are starting. Stone porches and patios are done. The decks are being stained. The rain chain is hung and the drain is built with our own stone from the land. I imagined the Mule would be good for moving the stone. It turned out that I was the "mule."
Cabinets were delivered yesterday and get installed next week. Countertops follow that. Screening goes on the porch next week, and hardwood stairs go in. Upstairs doors and trim get stained. After that, power and water get connected, and suddenly, we get closer to a punch-list. Instead of December 1, we might be looking at November 1st!!!
I doubt that we will be out of boxes by Thanksgiving, but a 12' tree at Christmas is a distinct possibility! We cannot wait to share this with you IN PERSON! Meanwhile, take care.
Love,
Emmett and Marsha

Now, THAT's what I call a house! The tile looks spectacular. Floors look super! What is the color? inside, that is... And WHAT is a "rain chain"?
Can't wait to see it! Peg xo
Everything looks fantastic! Just the other day I thought, "Emmett hasn't posted in a while and I *know* there's progress on the house..." So thanks for the update!
Holy cow! Now it's not just a house- it's a house with style! Awesome.
