Jeopardy Theme

The Jeopardy theme is playing in my head each time I think of the new house. We are STILL waiting to hear about the cabinets. I am going to call tomorrow and ask about it. Hopefully there will be an answer and we'll know when the current house can go on the market.

Updates

Well we are STILL waiting to hear about the cabinets. In the mean time they are working on some of the other "stuff". Painting, siding and staining. Here are some pictures.



From the side of the house. The little window on the left side of the picture is our "mountain" window. As in you can see the mountains from this window.



The living room with the mantle. I love the contrast of the dark wood and light paint.

In the meantime we are also working on "staging" the house. We moved the huge red chair into the den to make the living room bigger and are cleaning out toy room to turn into a formal dining room. We're taking the beautiful table Darryl made and putting it into the dining room to make a good first impression when someone walks in. I also bought matching lamps for the bedroom upstairs. By the times it's done it should look beautiful.

I'll post pictures of our "staged" house soon =)

Till Tomorrow

Answering Lori's comments

Quoting Lori ...

"
... Is the closing day very far away? Never having built a house...I have no concept of how long it takes.

The losing date is unknown right now. All we can hope for is sooner rather than later. The current 'guess-timate' from the builder is mid July.

A couple other comments about the pictures. All the railing, door frames baseboard and whatnot will be a dark walnut stain colour when their finished to match the walnut flooring, which unfortunately won't happen until after the kitchen is installed. It's the kitchen that is throwing the schedule out. We haven't got confirmation on the delivery date of the kitchen and once that's received, it's probably another 3-4 weeks until it's delivered and installed. The builder mentioned that it's generally another 6 weeks following kitchen delivery/install until possession.

A few camera phone shots.
