Sweet Return of The Dining Table


THIS...
happened tonight!
And it was a joyful occasion.
Tannon and Ryan helped bring some of our furniture out 
of the storage container this evening. 
It's like Christmas has already come!
I've missed our things. 
They even dragged out the box with our Fiestaware.
The cabinets aren't completely done and the granite is still a few days away,
but tomorrow I'm gonna put those dishes in their new home regardless.

This week we put down as much wood flooring as we could.
We had to climb out our bedroom window and down the ladder the night we 
floored it because we continued from the bedroom hallway where we'd
left off and you're not supposed to walk on it for 24 hours.
That was actually kind of fun and memorable.
We aren't able to put down the wood in the garage entrance/exit and 
service porch hallway because the bull-nose pieces that are to be installed around 
the stairwell opening haven't come from the mill yet.
We are anxious for it to get here. 
Waiting for the bull-nose is holding up the sink and commode install in the little half-privy, 
the balustrade, and the baseboard. 
We actually haven't started installing baseboard yet, but still...
They've told us to expect the bull-nose by or before December 1st.
We are hoping it shows up soon.
Dean got more light fixtures installed and this one
is my FAVORITE.
It hangs in the little hallway to our master bedroom.
*the photo is crooked, not the fixture, btw*
The light fixtures for the back hall arrived and I sent them back.
They were way out of scale (too big).
I ordered some similar, smaller ones that should arrive just before Thanksgiving.
Dean also got all the switches and outlets wired.

That's about it for tonight.
If you're interested,
here's what was going on last year at this time.
We've come a long way, baby!
Thank you, as always, for stoppin' by.
Good night and God bless.
