A week and counting or getting to the other end of it

Wow--

In one week OB2 (Our Builder's second in command--OB has had hip surgery and needed to turn over day to day to OB2) says that we will be able to move in. I hope so as we have scheduled the movers and all..... We will only have one shower as the glass and mirror people are backlogged but as long as those are installed by December 29th for our Housewarming party, all is good.

So---

What is still hanging in the wind--

Plumbing final trim should be tomorrow. I had heard that it was to be today but got put off a day.

Electrical is still being a bit tricky. We have found three areas of concern but our most wonderful Latin electrician is hopefully coming over today and solving all such issues.

The blower for the gas fireplace is not here/installed/bought???? It does light but the on/off is one of the electrical issues and no blower. It is pretty though.....

The finish carpenter must come out and do some adjustments to the doors, like, make them lock and close properly. The pocket doors have two different trims on them--chrome and nickel do clash.

I am awaiting the exchange for one of my ebay lights for the master bath--chrome and nickel clash, repeat.

The granite is in but not sealed--need to make a trip to HD or L for sealer and such--more hours of labor to be done before we move

Marmoleum is not sealed and polished--more hours of labor to be done before we move in.

Cleaning supposedly is starting

Painting retouch and patching is spots as well.

Need to decide where the doggie door should go--thankfully I took all the picks of where the wiring and such are located.

Friday the final inspection should be happening so it will be tight if they find anything amiss--here's to the power of prayer......

This weekend we are going to Port Angeles for our 1st Anniversary Fling--actually to see a seminarian that I worked with in our parish be ordained to the transitional diaconate--in June he will be ordained to the priesthood in the Cathedral in Seattle. It was a great excuse to get away and put off packing for a few more days--ha!

I will try and put up some more pictures of the inside on Friday.
