Just trying to be patient!

There are still a few things left to be done, both inside and out, but things are really coming together now. Now that it is looking more "done", I am finding it harder to be patient. We still need carpet and the hardwood floors still have to be stained. There's a little bit of tile work to be finished. The ovens have not yet arrived, along with a few pieces of hardware. Garage doors are supposed to arrive tomorrow and the A/C units will either be here tomorrow or Wednesday. The brickers are scheduled to come back by the end of the week to brick at the bottom of the driveway, around the grill, and at the base of the cedar columns that are coming for the porch.

David and Pa moved the treadmill to the attic yesterday. We thought it would be smart to get it up those stairs before the railing is installed. We had a very unpleasant "incident" with the driveway! When we stopped by Friday morning, we found some vandalism. Someone had carved their name in the wet concrete in 2 places. I felt sick at my stomach! Steve offered to have those 2 sections ripped up and repoured, however they would not match the rest of the concrete. They sent someone over to try to rub it out. Most of it came out, and if you don't know where it is....you probably won't be able to find it. But we know where it is and we will see it forever! (The vandals also wrote their name (Blake) along with another lovely B word in the flowerbed! Thank goodness that is only dirt. I would love to have a little chat with Blake someday. Maybe I will get the chance!)
