Finish Work!!

The tile guys are really working away.  They were there until 7:30 last night, which is always nice to see.  We really love how everything looks.  Here's a sneak peek of the rental showers:

The walls are also being worked on a lot.  They were really able to bring them back to life with a skim coat over everything.  You really can't tell what's old plaster wall and what's new drywall.  That process takes a long time.

Kekay and his guys are still prepping the rental for paint.  Man - that's a lot of prep work!  They're sanding down the trim, which has about 20 layers of paint on it. 

The contrator is working on replacing the trim that was ripped off - baseboards too.  It all looks really nice.

Hopefully that toilet gets installed for the party on Saturday night.  We're just saying it's a 'warehouse' theme.  Don't mind the dust!

Of course I had to try these things on.  {can you say two broken wrists}.  They are incredibly hard to walk in.  They might make an appearance at the party.  - reminder to hide these things.

The really great news is that the rental unit is pretty much pre-rented!  They haven't signed the lease yet, so I'm not going to spike the ball, but they're really excited about it.  We've been having open houses at our current place and had four groups interested in moving in.  We really hit it off with one group and asked them to move into the rental to be our neighbors downstairs.  They were really excited and jumped at the chance.   One of the women is in the wine business, so that's a pretty great start! 

We have another group for our current place as well and they're signing the lease next week.  That's a lot of financial pressure off, but now we need to really finish everything up by Sept 1st.  (Actually, we need to finish by August 30th so we can still go to Yosemite).  That's my goal!!
