2 Weeks

We have officially hit the 2 week mark.  Only 14 days to go until we have our final walk through.  If everything goes perfect there, and there is nothing to fix, we could sign our papers the next day.  Hooray!!  We are so excited to be homeowners and for our new life to start.

On Saturday there were small yet big things done to our house.  We now have one sink in.  It is the sink that is in the main bathroom.  The bathroom counter tops were one thing that we were a little nervous about.  We didn't know what to expect with them, but we were pleasantly surprised.  We love the way that they look, and it is only going to get better the more complete they become.  It isn't fully done, but it is still in and we are excited about that.

What the main and master sinks will look like.

We were able to snoop around a little bit more on Saturday since the cabinet guy wasn't there.  We noticed that our island has a wonderful detail on it.  The lines give a different look that we didn't realize it had.  Needless to say, we love it.  During the beginning phase, while we picking out all of our options and stuff we decided that it would be a good idea to add a cookie rack in one of our cupboards.  We had to open up every cupboard, but we found it on Saturday.  That is going to be a really nice feature to have in our house.  It is right next to the stove, so it will be very easy access while we are cooking or baking.

All of the hardware had been put on as well.  Towel racks, door knobs, door stops, hanger bars (what you hang your hangers on.  I don't know what they are called.) for the closets.  It has all been done.  We are glad that we went for the brushed nickel rather than the chrome.  We think that it is a nicer look overall and are excited to see those in.  Lets be honest, I am excited when anything new happens.  Even if it doesn't mean anything to anyone else.  I was excited when they cleared the extra dirt off of our lot.  So, I know that these are a small things to get excited about, but that is what I do.  Get excited over things that done mean a lot to a lot of people.

My favorite piece of hardware.  The stubby doorstop.

The outside is really almost done.  We are just waiting on a couple of key things to finish it off.  We have all of our soffit and fascia finished now.  House lesson:  The soffit and fascia is the underneath side of the overhang on the roof.  It is also the gutters.  The picture I took shows exactly what it is.  The rock and a few trim pieces are all that we are waiting on.  Hopefully they are able to get those done this week.  Oh, we also got our garage door on, but I was too nervous to put it down in fear that I would break it.  So there will be pictures to come soon of how cute that is. 

The soffit and fascia are all done.

With only 2 weeks left you would think that my stress levels and list making of things that need to get done would be through the roof.  But I am surprisingly calm.  We are going to start packing non-essentials this week and slowly get everything put into boxes and clean our entire apartment top to bottom.  Things have gone smoothly for us so far, why would that stop now?
