We made it for the 4th!

Whew, Arne has been working hard to get it done and we were almost there. The cabinets came on Monday, carpet on Tuesday and most of the doors w/trim are in. We will be spending the night on Friday and Saturday although there's only one toilet, one bed, and maybe running water in the spa tub downstairs. Other than that, we eat out, and have to figure out what to talk about.....no TV. Trisha drove the Aunts down for the day to admire the new work. Aunt Fran and Aunt Isa seemed to enjoy the tour, lunch and beautiful day. We discovered we weren't the first visitors however when we looked out at the ocean and realized three male deer's were staring back at us from the neighbor's lawn. How special is that? At least till I get the garden in and then they will change from adorable to obnoxious! If anyone reading this wants to check out the work to date we're hosting an open house on the 4th at 12 - 4 w/ hamburgers and hot dogs about 2ish. On the barby of course as the appliances aren't in yet. What a joy this project has been, what an unbelievable blessing in our lives. Can't wait to share w/everyone or anyone interested! Of course we're not quite there yet, still need electricity, plumbing, tile, granite counters, hard wood floors, decor, etc etc. But it's beautiful, we can sleep there and it's home! YIPEE
