General Update

I came back from a trip to Portland and was really happy to hear Jimmy say that "things are moving really quickly and ahead of schedule".  That is a first!  Apparently the electrician was working all day on Saturday, which really moved him along.  There is wiring and light switch boxes EVERYWHERE.  We also had a meeting about where all the lights, light switches and ceiling lights are going.  Thankfully we kinda figured this out beforehand while my dad was here.  It's just something we've never thought of - the contractor helped by saying things like "when you're walking to bed from being in the living room, you want to be able to turn everything off on your way there." We also needed to avoid putting 4 switches right next to each other for all the great room lights.  I imagine myself flicking 4 switches on and off every day trying to figure out which light is which. 

At this point, things are really moving along.  The plumber is also full steam ahead with only one problem of putting both toilets in the wrong spot (and cutting holes).  Thankfully Jimmy is over there twice a day and caught it right away. 

Our appliances are being delivered today.  Can't wait to see those!  Our contractor laughs when things like that are delivered and he doesn't need them for 8 weeks.  I think they actually push him along quicker, right? :)   Maybe I can use my new stove in our current house for 8 weeks until it's done.  Now that's an idea.

Also, we picked out our vanity for our small bath:
