Progress...

 It's slow, but at least we are seeing some kind of progress!  The kick boards in the great room are up and they have a good start on the wood trim.

The guest bath was grouted yesterday and looks amazing!  Just a few more bits and pieces, like a shower door for starters and that room will be done.  I've heard rumors of the plumber showing up on Monday...that would be nice!

Almost all of our interior doors have been hung, they just need to be stained now.

Roses!  We picked these up the other day, after a little pleading on my part, Ok, maybe a lot of pleading!  Stu isn't a big fan of roses, he thinks they are high maintenance.  I hear regular roses are, but these are a fairly new variety called "Double Knock-Out" they are supposed to be much hardier and easier to grow.

Either way...they are beautiful!  We just need to find the perfect spot for them.

Our watermelon is doing really well!  Unfortunately, with the temps dropping down into the 30's at night, it's not going to be around much longer...

I saw this on my way back from Sevierville yesterday...I guess someone isn't a big fan of E-mail! Too funny!

Our home phone "should" be hooked up today at the house, assuming the electrician comes out to install the outlets.  We had the insulation in the ceiling blown in yesterday, so now the whole house is fully insulated.  The heat and air guys "should" be back today to do a little re-wiring.  The sub-contractor that sealed the concrete on the courtyard "should" be back today to fix that (the day after it was covered with bubbles and then turned milky).  We have lots of "should's" today, we'll see!
