We are very close to having our house back! The kitchen is 95% done, and it looks great. It feels like we are in a different house. I made the first meal with the new stove last night. After 2 1/2 weeks of not having a stove, this was very exciting. Spaghetti and sausage!
The countertop looks nice with the flooring. And now we have so much counter and cabinet space! I'm going to forget where things are. I can't reach the top shelves of the cabinets, so they will have to be saved for something we don't use often.
We are waiting on the backsplash that is on backorder and should be in soon, then the window will be framed out as well, and everything will be complete. The is our new copper sink. We love it, and I hope that it stays pretty, and I don't regret the choice.
The stairs and flooring is complete. WE love how the stairs turned out. They originally had ugly carpet on them, and this is just the plain boards underneath that were stained and painted. Nice job!
The wooden floor is nice and cool apparently, Samurai enjoys laying on it for naps.
So very soon, we no longer have Rudy, the contractor at our house each day. We will be rid of the porti-potti in front yard, and the contractor sign!
We are planning an open house soon to show off our completed house, so stay turned for details!
All the cabinets are in... we are waiting for the counter top to be cut and delivered. The trim is going up and other small things. The cabinets are so tall, it's hard to reach some of the shelves. We have started to move a few things back in. Without being able to fully use the kitchen, its hard to know where I want everything to go. We may end up rearranging anyways. But the sooner I don't have to run up and down the stairs to get stuff from the basement then better!
The one new appliance that we have is our new microwave. 
We had to keep the cardboard down over the weekend to protect the new floor. The boys enjoyed it. It was like one big canvas! Its not often they get the chance to write on the floor! I am hoping though that it will all be gone soon, and we get the living room back into shape. It would be great if the stove gets installed too. I can make due with the toaster oven and microwave, but with out the stove top to make pasta and boil water etc, its getting to be challenging! Its been about 6 weeks, I am ready to have my house back!
