Halloween

We have made progress the past few weeks, its just slow and not particularly photo worthy.  In fact the idea behind filling the woodwork is to not have the work be seen.  That being said it is really not fun to puddy fake wood into all the gaps of imperfect carpentry, but on the bright side it should be done at some point this week.  We have also started the process of patching the drywall dings and getting them sanded smooth.  All in all it looks like by Thanksgiving things will be almost done.  Since we really don't want the place to smell like paint and varnish for the holiday the goal is to get everything ready for a quick wipe down and a fresh paint job and leave it be.

Cleaning House

The past few weeks have been spent deep cleaning the house.  Between Amber's parent (Dennis and Lois), our good friends Shawnda and Chari, Amber, Doug and Myself, most of the dust has been removed.  It is truly getting exciting because we are two maybe three and at most four weeks out from moving in.  Even though there will be things to install and build etc. on the interior for the next ten years or so, to really get things finished we need to put in another 25 or so pieces of trim, sand some areas of installed pieces and fill the gaps.

The Final Push

The final push is on for the trim which means that the final push is on for the project in general...at least the interior.  There are about twenty or so stray pieces of wood left to put in place which will probably be in this week here and there.  We have the second round of floor finishing coming in next week so we are in the process of cleaning everything and taking it up off of the floor.  The next few weeks or so should consist mainly of organizing tools and materials and starting the deep clean of the place.
