If you've been wondering why I have been absent, these are some of the reasons:
- The master shower leaked into the kitchen, therefore we had to rip a huge hole into the drywall next to the dinette light.
-The steps and landings once poured were not up to code, so we've been adding concrete where ever needed to pass inspection.
-The farm sink in the craft room didn't fit into the cabinet (did I mention the first farm sink was back ordered because of a warehouse fire) so the cabinets had to be cut into.
- There was a problem with my London wallpaper so I had to re shop and reorder new wallpaper. Now it's from Boston which is not as romantic as London, but the print will be fresher and bolder, which I'm looking forward to.
-The master fireplace didn't fit on the wall, so we had to tear it off and redo the drywall, and then reinstall it.
-The claw foot tub faucet came in 7 inch rim holes, and of course I have 8 inch rim holes. Sent back, reordered.
Not to mention I also had the flu.
We're about a week away...hopefully.

Sounds like you need a big hug... I would need one if I went through all that! And to respond to your comment, I would love to photograph Grant carrying you over the threshhold :)
I am excited to see the house! I bet it looks awesome! And I am sorry for all the troubles... building a house comes with a lot of pains(So my Mom says), I wouldn't know.
That facet thing puts the cherry on the cake. Only one inch off? That stinks. But how lovely it will be to soak in a claw footed tub! That's a dream.
Wow... rough stuff building a house- sounds stressful! All of your posts have gotten me built up in anticipation to see it! I'm sure it's beautiful!
