Wait and see...

We've just suffered our most painful delay as it required 3 weeks to get the hardwood floor to 1.5 % of humidity level compared to the sub floor. They started with an amazing 6% difference and now we are ready to see the progress but it's been a little hard. In the meantime some things moved, but not as much as we'd wanted. Our goals to get back in the house in June appears harder and harder to keep.


Also we've been working with hardwood floor installer to find a solution to nicely finish the part of the floor that goes underneath the sheet-rock and this is what he came up with. Not exactly what we wanted but a nice compromise that should last a long time.


Also a few more pictures of things that are moving:







 The cooktop looks terrific. We did not know really what a yellow-ish top would do but it turned out awesome...


And to finish some exterior work (actually done some time ago) with a garage door....

Stairs and Colors...

Finally we have some colors - white is done and walls got one coat of paint for now.


Also the hardwood floor work is starting with the stairs in order to get the hand rail installed.
