Move date - Sat March 18th (finally!)

We are moving in on Saturday, March 18th. Not everything will be complete, but we are moving in anyway. We have no choice. We must vacate the little house we are staying in as it was rented for March to somebody else, and we have been begging forgiveness for the delay.

The electricians discovered they have a cut wire somewhere in the attic, so they need to trace that and replace it.

Received maple spindles and railing, but not newel posts. All but 6 of the spindles are pretty poor quality, with chip-outs, etc. So they have gone back to the supplier.

Flooring is behind schedule. Sadly, we are no longer floored by this (hahah).

Discovered some really sloppy drywall work - it was behind the door in the powder room, so didn't see it until I could close the door and turn on the light... The painters hadn't painted the 2nd colour coat in there anyway.

Countless dings and bangs in the walls. Worst offender are the flooring guys. Most of the mess is just sheer sloppiness, flinging grout and tile mortar wherever.

Appliances delivered today. Electric dryer delivered instead of the gas version we ordered.

Quotes for exterior finishing are coming in. Expect to decide on that this week, and order exterior stone so we can avoid the 5% price increase coming in April.

Appliance hook-up happening tomorrow.
