SOOOOOO CLOSE!!!

---- We are getting so close!----
We are working our butts off (ok, MATT is working his butt off!) to get this house done by the end of the month!  Matt is hoping to get inspection done next week as long as a couple of things happen that are kinda out of his control (countertops, gutters & land being graded out). We know countertops are getting installed TODAY (YEAH!), but we aren't sure about the other 2 things! So yeah... we can see the light at the end of the tunnel... just not sure EXACTLY how far away it is! 

I got the "go-ahead" from Matt to start packing up the apartment, so I am trying to "balance" my time at the house with cleaning it up and final projects with packing and cleaning up the apartment.  But as of right now, my plan is to get everything moved out the apartment and then give it really good scrub down!  It has kinda been neglected the last couple of months! (sorry Dad H.) AND, it's more exciting cleaning the new house than the apartment (sorry again Dad H., haha).

Here are some more current photos:

Appliances are at the house 
(most are in, just the stove is waiting for the countertops to be put in)

Dishwasher is in!

Laundry Room
We have to wait for the dryer to come in at the end of May (or something like that!), but good thing we had an extra dryer in the storage trailer!


WE HAVE CARPET!!!
Master Bdrm looking a LOT BETTER!

Dad Derks' craftsmanship with the tile! I absolutely love it!

New lock on the front door!

Stair railing project started!!!







1/2 of the spindles are in!

It is so great when a plan/idea comes together. I just said that to Matt last night. 
Me: "Wow it looks great!"
Matt: "You sound surprised? You picked it out!"
Me: "Well, you never know how it really turns out until it's done! I mean, I had the idea that it would look great, but you just never know!"

But I am surprised at how little things I would actually change so far!
Decorating/Home Decor stuff I am really happy with so far!

he P90x Reviews response is yes. The French fashion house has confirmed the Brit model because the face of that Boy Chanel handbag collection P90x Workout. [Karl Lagerfeld] has a crush during this unique, charismatic gal, who is both a model and musician, in a photo shoot a while ago, Chanel told WWD Beats by Dre. This previously unforeseen alliance finally became self-evident Beats by Dre Earphones. Alice Dellal represents an ideal incarnation of the which is unique around the Boy Chanel handbag collection, which strives [to be] definately not conformist notions of femininity Px90 Workout.
Yep, Dellal is not really conventional Beats by Dre Headphones. As well as her trademark punk-rock uniform, the petite 24-year-old is a drummer in the band Thrush Metal and will turn out to be found larking around the streets based in london with Pixie Geldof. Shes far from blonde bombshell Blake Lively, whos the prevailing face of Chanels Mademoiselle range, but Lagerfeld is recognized for his eclectic taste, previously casting Lily Allen for your Cocoon bag range in '09. Furthermore, Alice's androgyny will work brilliantly together with the 'Boy' collection. How refreshing.
