So close it hurts.

Just a few tiles on the sides....and some grout. And the mirror actually hanging on the wall.

If you didn't already know that Erik is amazing, here's proof. He put up all these doors in one night. By himself. All 26ish of them. He's working on the door knobs tonight.

If you've ever helped us out at the house or come for a visit, you'll understand the value of a door on the bathroom here. Ok, maybe everyone understands that, but we're sure happy about it.

The first flower bed is still looking good...

And the second one is well on its way. Need a few more pansies and some bushes in the back.

Guest mirror:

ONE master mirror. The other, well, let's just say that gray dot on the wall is a couple of washers covering a somewhat inconvenient hole that was created when one of the dry wall anchors did not perform well in the course of its duties. But Erik's a genius and has a plan to make it work.

So, update time...

• Erik did not call in the inspection. He said he will do it tonight. We'll see about that.
• The big trash bin is gone! (a necessary step for passing)
• We passed our energy audit (pending a few minor fixes - weather stripping on the attic door and some paper posted in the attic)
• The window guy is ordering new tempered window panes for the window in the master bath that will be here next week. We'll see about that.
• The electric company should come tomorrow and pick up the old t-pole meter. Then our electrician can come get the t-pole and hopefully fix the outlets in the master bath that mysteriously stopped working.
