It's getting close!

We have running water!  Ellie used the half bath last night!
Most of the knobs are in place in the kitchen.

Emma and Caitlyn, her Bitty Baby.  Emma has been saving her money since Christmas for this doll.  Finally, last week she had $42 and we ordered Caitlyn, she arrived yesterday.  As I write this Emma is busy coloring a box for Caitlyn's bed.

A lot has happened over the last few days. I hope to have time to take more pictures today. 
-  Most of the plumbing is in.  The water heater still needs to be hooked up.  
- A lot of grading was done last week.  The back patio, back stairs, front stairs, walk, parking pad, and sidewalk in front have been poured.  We won't have a full driveway right away.  Since there has been grading done recently on the side of the house we need to let that settle for a bit.  Richmond Heights will allow us to put gravel down (even though it's against codes) since it won't be for very long.
- The closets were installed!! They look wonderful!  
-Most of the tile is finished.  A little bit needs to be done in the master bath, the fireplace stills needs to be done, and the kitchen backsplash.

Today Dave and Larry will be back to do some general carpentry things (porch, a little more trim, back door, office doors).

Kurt should be there working on the tile.

Hopefully the plumbing crew can get the water heater up and going today too.

This is so exciting!
