I believe the electrical work is mostly done until it's time to install actual outlets, switches and fixtures. The plumbing is done or nearly so. New windows are in. (It's amazing how much more light the house is now that the windows are not covered with soot.) There's a bathtub sitting in the right spot in the bathroom. Doors have been ordered for everything except the front door.
The weekend before last, my mom, the little girl, and I went on a shopping weekend to Ikea, The Container Store, and World Market. I got closet systems for all of the bedroom closets. Yay!!! It's basically like built in dressers in the closet so we don't have to use that room out in the bedrooms. I got a kitchen faucet I really liked at Ikea and found a sink I like but I'll have to go back and get it since they were on back order. I found some couches I like at Ikea and World Market. Many couches make me feel like a little kid because when I sit on them, my feet don't touch the ground. Ikea couches tend to be lower to the ground so I can sit on them and feel like a grown up. I also found a dining table I plan to order at World Market. We came back from that trip with the car loaded down with stuff. Thank goodness the big girl had lots going on and couldn't come that weekend because we couldn't have fit everything in the car on the way home. We're planning another shopping expedition at the end of March or beginning of April.
Tomorrow, I have a meeting with the contractor to go over remaining timeline, dollar allowances for some things, cabinet finishes, etc.
The progress isn't as fast as I'd like it to be...you know, since it's not done...but it's moving along.
