The ungrouted hearth:

The painter is coming tomorrow! No days off for him, apparently. I'll take it! So he and Erik will be out there working away. Erik's out there right now getting some wood up so it's ready for the painter.

I watered again, today. I got my first, "Welcome to the neighborhood!" from a passing walker today. It felt nice : )

So thinking about the check-offs, the painter will finish the molding, Erik will finish the fireplace and bannister and the painter will finish those off. What else? I hope to finish landscaping this weekend, although I may help Erik tile the kitchen - I think it won't be so intimidating if we do it together. Poor Erik is just so tired of tile. That way we can grout the fireplace, too. We'll see. Refrigerator will come after the tile's down. Then wood and carpet.

If the plumber will fix what the inspector wanted, we can pass inspection and turn electricity on. Then all that's left is final.

I'm sure there's 100 little things that still need to be done that I'm not even thinking of, but the biggies list is starting to get pretty short!
