Wet and Wild in Washington: And Then There Were 3 (Weeks That Is)

It has now been a month since we last posted to the blog, so we figured now was the time. Since there has been little noticeable change in the outward appearance of the house (the only changes have been the addition of the garage door and the driveway, front porch and back patio concrete has been poured) since our last post, we kind of figured that there was no need to post a weekly update. However, the interior work is moving right along, and as you can see in the pictures, it is coming along great! About two weeks ago, we walked through the house after the walls had been painted, and it was exciting to see how much different it looks with walls as opposed to just open studs. We were slightly concerned, however, because it seemed that some of the rooms seemed smaller than what we had envisioned. My fear was that, after getting cabinets and counters installed there wasn't going to be much room to move around, and the addition of furniture would make it seem even smaller. Luckily, our fears were disproven after walking through yesterday. The rooms-especially the kitchen-is quite spacious and we should have plenty of room.
While the house nears completion, we did receive a bit of bad news last week. Due to illness and delays from the suppliers, Quadrant called two 'non-scheduled, non-work days', which pushes our closing date from December 4th to the 8th. We knew there was always a chance of delays, but with everything progressing so smoothly, we hoped we would be lucky and not have any. The only real downer to the delays is that the closer we get to Christmas, the harder it will be for Scott to get time off and to find people willing and able to help us move.
