Happy New Year! And...we've got water!

We hope you all had a great 2011 and wish you all a wonderful and even better 2012!  We were able to start the new year with running water in the kitchen.  The countertops were installed on Friday and our most awesome plumber came on Saturday, New Years Eve day, to install the faucets and garbage disposables and even the dishwasher.  No more washing dishes in the garage in the freezing cold!  Everything has turned out beautifully.  So, only two more days until the appliances get here!

The contractor came on Monday and installed the baseboard through out the house, so we are getting closer to being done.  Besides the appliances arriving on Friday, my Uncle (also awesome) will try to finish up some of the electrical work (but we are still waiting for some light fixtures that are on back order) and the plumber will come back to install the rest of the fixtures in the laundry room and hopefully be able to set the toilet in the half bath.

The countertops arrive!

Making the necessary cuts.

Now comes the part where we have to put everything back together in the house.  No easy chore when you have to figure out where it's supposed to go and re-organize everything...but I'm up for the challenge.  It will be sooo nice to be able to find our stuff again and not have it move to different locations in the house 10 times!

Stay tuned for the appliances!
