Our contractor thinks he'll be able to have everything done by the 15th...and then the hardwood floor guy can come in and work his magic. He'll need a couple days, and then the house will be all ours.
I am crossing all my fingers {and toes} that we'll be able to put our Christmas tree up before the holiday comes and goes.
Yesterday the spackle guy, and his partner-in-crime, were able to make a lot of progress smoothing out the walls and patches. Our contractor built up our basement window so he could re-grade the dirt under our screened-in porch, started installing the last basement window and hung most of the interior doors. Our poor hardwoods have taken a beating through this reno. I can't wait to see them after they get some much needed TLC.
