9 Days to go...

It's Saturday!  And the house was abuzz today with workers from all different trades:

Framers - needed to reframe a bathroom door opening that was too small.
Drywall finishers - finishing the bonus room (about time) and doing some minor wall fixes.
Trimmers - working on the moldings
Finishers - working on door knobs and stops and adjusting kitchen cabinets.

There is a TON of blue tape of the wall from the PM but he didn't catch but about half of what we saw.  We started adding our own blue tape until we noticed that the drywall finishing guys already went through that room.  Oops!  Well, we have a one-room head start for Tuesday.

Today we went on a little bit of a shopping for the new house.  Home Depot had a sale on a dryer that we purchased so we ended up getting $160 refunded to our credit card.  Macy's furniture had a sale on our coach that saved us another $350.  Ashley Furniture is likely to have a sale next week on our mattress that will save us another $150 or so.

All the savings are going to be put toward hiring movers to unload our PODS.  With all the things that need to be done around the new house this will help immensely.

Weekend is here and my wife feels homesick from being in an apartment and now staying at her mother's.  It's not ideal living out of boxes but we have just about 9 days remaining and then we'll be in our new home.
