10.30 Update
Lots of updates this week. Chris from Sheldon Slate was here to install the counters, the guys made great progress on the trim. The tile and painting is complete and the pine floors started to go in on Saturday. We're inside three weeks now and all the appliances arrived on Friday. The garage doors are up and the well is connected. We got the inspection on the septic and the electrical hook-up. We should see the electricians start to hang fixtures this week. Our closing date is set for Novenber 22nd. The majority of the work is near completion. Check back soon for more updates. I shuld have more pictures on Thursday.

10.18 More tiling and the septic is installed.
Here are some additional pictures of the tile in the upstairs bathroom and the finished septic system. We are having the septic inspection tomorrow and then they start building the retaining walls and filling the back yard with lots and lots of dirt. The tile in the upstairs bathroom is along the walls that surround the pedestal tub. We should have tile on the floor tomorrow as well as the shower in this bathroom. Sarah picked out a very cool subway style design and a row of mosaic just below the row of trim. We will use the same style of tile in the shower, only sqaure instead of rectangular.

10.15 Update
The walls are painted, and the tile is down in the first floor bathroom, the laundry room, and the foyer. Steve also put this really cool moulding on the windows and the proch ceiling is finished. Work on the septic system began and we had 12 dump truck loads of sand in the back yard. Amos loved it. Chris from Sheldon was here on Tuesday and did the templates for the counters. We hope he'll be back later in the week of the 25th to install them. The plan for this week is to finish the tiling, start the wood floors and finish the septic. For the floors we chose to do heartwood pine floors.
We also decided to do stone retaining walls from Keystone Walls, their Country Manor product. We ordered our appliances last week, the Architect series from KitchenAid. They should arrive the week of the 25th. To view the pictures from this update, click here.
