This is a Marathon, not a Sprint! (I was told that by a wise person this week!)

So, what mile of the marathon do people normally hit the proverbial "wall"?! I think it's when they're told they have to re-paint every room in the house...

The trim in the house was sprayed this week, and what we were blissfully unaware of, was the fact that the painters would not cover the walls that were previously painted, resulting in a bright white "spray" all around the trim on the floor and each and every window.

At least the trim looks great...

The stone on the exterior was installed in about 2 days... things are really shaping up!

We put cedar siding on the master bedroom balcony... I love the way it turned out!

The countertops were installed this week as well...
The wood floors were also installed, but fortunately were covered before the trim was sprayed!
No photos available... it's still under paper.

The master bathroom countertops and tile were finished up this week too.

We have the closing date set for April 17th! Super excited....

Lots to do over the next week... Mark and I are both exhausted!!!

HAPPY EASTER, everyone!!!
