Getting closer

They're still working on the brick but almost finished.



They finally finished the big wall.  

The tile in the breezeway.  All the tile is down, they just need to grout it.
They stained and finished the floors upstairs.
We wanted a light color and a dull finish.  We didn't get it.  
We were so frustrated this weekend when we first looked at it and I think we both tried to like it because its completely finished.  But there's really nothing about it we like so they are going to have to completely sand it back down and start over.  And they can't start until late September.  
This shot shows closer to how dark the color actually is.  So we'll live with this for a month and pay to have them re-do it and we'll keep reminding ourselves that its better than having a floor we hate.
Pottery Barn delivered the sofa for downstairs last week.  I was afraid it would take up the whole room and look overpowering but I think its the perfect size!  And super comfy!
This mess is the septic system,  which I think is finished.
This nice display is right next to garage.  I'm not sure who left it for us, but we thought it was quite interesting.  It looked a little spooky after dark though!

The house isn't near as close to being finished as we wished it was at this point, but next Tuesday, we're moving in.
