finish carpentry is COOL!

There goes our annonimity: we're famous now!

As I was driving by the house today, I spied THE GOOGLE CAR parked next to the high school's baseball field. I bet that means you'll be able to actually google my address and see an actual street map. Hooray!

White is nice.

So now that the white garage door is in, the house is really looking fantastic. I'm so excited. I was really worried the white would look weird, but it really is lovely.

COLOR!

COLOR! Our house is finally colorized and it looks AMAZING. It is really starting to look like a home.

Date Night!

AHHHH.......just the two of us alone in the moonlight. Some may consider this romantic, but something about the melodic racket of the paint sprayer mixed with the aroma of fresh paint and the gentle 90mph Spanish Fork breeze inflating the dropcloths we taped to the doors like balloons that inevitably took flight just wasn't doing it for me. Cordell tried all he could to add to the mood including whispering sweet four letter words under his breath, cooling us both with a refreshing wet semi-gloss coating; but to no avail. I have officially added "painter" to my top 5 list of occupations I don't want when I grow up. It's right up there with garbage man and assistant school custodian.
To be fair, the garage looks great, and we're living a dream, that as Cordell says, everyone talks about but near does: painting and texturing our garage BEFORE all the crap gets moved in. Every person who has walked through our house has told us how they wished they had done it. Now we can officially say we're livin' the dream!

Doors

all our doors for the inside have been delivered and get installed on thursday.

the trims and moldings have been delivered too. I can hardly wait to see it in the house.

Tile

The tile around the fireplace and on the hearth is installed as is the rest of the tile throughout the house. Hopefully we'll get grout tomorrow. It really is beautiful. I'm not sure if that's because the tile actually IS beautiful or if it is because the tile is mine that I think it's beautiful.
