An update on the house is in order, I suppose...
Let's see: so far we've had the roof redone, had a plumbing flush-out done, bought that new couch and chair for the new master suite, torn out the wall between the two bedrooms, replaced all the electrical outlets and switches (three-way switches suck ass), installed a new stove and dishwasher and microwave (the latter two arriving today), installed new ceiling fans and light fixtures, broke up a corner of the concrete pad out back and dug a square for the new hot tub foundation, dug a trench for the conduit to the hot tub, got the front picture window replaced, and removed all the hideous blue kitchen cabinet doors and drawers so we can strip the paint and redo them in black with gold trim. We've also been pricing stone-slab countertops, stone tilework for the fireplace, carpeting, more lighting, and picking paint colors.
All it looks like we've done so far is piled sheetrock shards on the floor and propped up big pieces of wood with nails sticking out of them against the walls. We don't even have a real garbage can yet.
Ah well-- the electrical work is now all done, so at the very least we can work at night now. Now comes the fun stuff, the part that actually makes a visual difference. Up till now it's been tedious and unglamorous (and, as James will attest, shocking) until now, but here's where the fun begins.
Time to build a wall.
