Done and to do

The girls and I went by the house on Saturday to look at the floors.  All the wood is down except the transitions between the closets and the rooms where we moved closets and the wood didn't go through.  Mark offered me two ways to do it, one that cost $50 per closet and one that cost $275 per closet.  I chose the $50 option.  The tile floors in the bathrooms and utility room are down and grouted too.  They look great.  I asked about laying the tile on the diagonal and it would have cost more so I had them lay it off-set so the grout lines of each row are off-set by half the tile width.  I really like how it turned out.

Mark called me on Friday afternoon and said he wanted to get together at the house this week to talk about the trim. 

I have lots of other questions for him too.

• When do I need to finalize decisions for...
•  kitchen back splash
• toilets
• pedestal sink 
• main bath counter and sink
• medicine cabinet/mirror
• lights/ceiling fans
• paint colors
• shower door
• door and cabinet hardware

• When will the heat and air unit be cleaned and tested
• Can they hang all of my shelves in the kitchen where I'm not putting upper cabinets and make sure they attach them to studs since they be holding dishes
• What to do about the ruts in the front yard and cleaning up the debris in the back yard (worried about glass and puppy dog feet)
• Shelves in the laundry room...mom suggested putting up a long board where the coat hooks are going and attaching the hooks to that so we don't have to worry about attaching them to studs...love that idea
• Counter top about the washer and dryer
• Is there some kind of fixed-length shower curtain rod...I hate how the rings snag on the bump in the middle of the adjustable ones...not good with the kids
• Can I put in rain barrels when they add the guttering

My most important question of all...

• What is the current estimation for move-in-day???

As we get more and more stuff, I'm getting more and more anxious to move home.
