House Remodel - Weeks 11 & 12

Things are starting to move quickly. The past two weeks they have put up almost all of the trim. (and painted!) Our cabinets are in and our counter tops (quartz) and sink were installed. Most of our lighting fixtures are in.

We are SO happy that we've gone with Dan Wesley as our "superintendent/builder." He has been nothing but wonderful. He is adding great touches to the house and has been honest, thorough and pleasant. One of the things we love about this house is not only that it is the house that Luke grew up in, but it's on the Payton land which includes farmland, woods and pasture. There is a beautiful old barn on the land that Luke absolutely loves. Dan took an old beam from that barn and cut it to fit on the end of the wall in our kitchen area. It looks incredible. He is also making our banister out of the old barn wood (which has "buckshot" (sp?) in it - when Luke's grandfather would shoot his shotgun some of the metal would lodge itself in the wood. You can actually see the tiny pieces in our banister if you look closely. What character!) It's gorgeous.

Things are coming together! We hope to be able to start moving in 2 weeks from now. That will be pushing it, but time will tell..
