Fore! (or four)

Dang.

Entry
I pulled up to the house today and magically there was a railing!  I had no idea that it was going up this week.

No more worry about falling into the egress window...  of death.  Railings!

Numbers!  Mailbox!

Legitimate front door handle installed - I now have keys!  Once we paint the exterior, the door will be the 2012 Pantone Color of the Year... that's right, Tangerine Tango!

Electrical
Light fixtures are going up right and left.  Ahhh....

Welcome! A couple of Lowe's lights.

To the right is another Lowes light.  To the left this spot over the stairs gave us great concern.  I give you the George Nelson Bubble Lamp - Propeller style!  I wanted so badly to turn it on, but the electrician had the circuit turned off.  Notice the Linen color paint - my mistake from yesterday.  Latte is in the dining room, Linen here. 

Yes, more Lowes lights.  The pendants are now in place over the island and over the kitchen sink.

Hooks 'n Stuff
Door stops were installed today, so no more worry about fly-away doors taking a chunk out of the wood work.  I also worked with one of our carpenters to determine where all of the towel rods, robe hooks, and toilet paper holders.

Finally, the hooks were mounted in the mudroom.  Looking functional!

Lucky 13

Thirteen days to go!  Best news is that Lucy's grandparents offered to take her to the cabin over the move weekend.  AWESOME!

Pictorially speaking, there is not much to show this weekend.  Paint is about the least interesting pictures to show - especially primer.  A few random items of interest as we launch into the week. Both items required for occupancy, both install processes start with, "first we drill into your cement board siding." Gasp!

The mailbox
I never realized how boring and disappointing mailboxes can be.  I would be ok with a boring one to be replaced later if it wasn't being screwed into the cement board siding.  Etsy to the rescue again!  We found an interesting, reasonably priced mailbox in British Colombia from Copperdesign, who I guess you would referred to as a copper smith.


The Canadian mailbox, eh.



The house numbers
Made by HouseArt, our house numbers are apparently required for occupancy.  Another thing we would care little about except for the previously stated drilling.

5 inch raised numbers.  Also doubled as Andy's birthday present.


And... that's pretty much it.
