Did We Move in!?!?!?!?

This was the weekend targeted for starting our move-in if you recall, and I know you do. Did we make it? What do you think? Let's check out these photos:

For the first time in a really long while, I brought a decent camera to the remodel instead of just relying on the cell phone camera.

Here's a pop at the new entry; do you like all the wood? The walls on both sides of the front door will be clear T&G cedar too, so it'll be all woodsy warm when you come to the front door. (If you're an evironmentalist, it'll be all old growth too, but fortunately there's not much of it.) Can we move in like this? You betcha.

Here's the main floor bathroom now; I powered up the Tech Lighting fixtures today and popped in the GFI outlet and got the fan running, cleaned up the tub, and tested out the Hans Grohe shower. Awsome. Can we move in like that? Well, kind of - just need the shower curtain.

You've already seen the living room and the floors; the shelves aren't done yet, but they're almost there; are they good enough for a move-in if we have to? You betcha!

I powered up the water heater today too. That little snake from the ceiling to the heater is 10 gage armored cable, baby. I turned it on and could hear the water warming up and expanding the chamber. Can we move in like that? Well, not quite. If you look at the photo, the piping that gets the hot water to the tubs and sinks isn't there yet. So, no; can't move in until we have hot water.

And here's a shot at the most pesky circuit I'm trying to figure out. If you come to the open house on the 15th, hopefully it'll all be figured out by then and you won't accidentally electrocute yourself like I almost did. Just kidding!!!

Bottom line is, we start the move-in process next week. Until then, Ray needs to finish his plumbing stuff, and we really need to have Steve finish the walkway to the sidewalk so not so much dirt gets tracked in.

That's it for now; I just need to get some much needed sleep. More manana!
