House Update

After having been gone the last few weekends, we decided to stop by the ol' homestead to see how things were progressing. The front doesn't look too different from Memorial Day weekend:

Although they have added some trim work around the windows as well as a temporary door. But the back-- well the back is an entirely different story:

We have brick! My guess is by week's end the front will be all bricked up also. To give you a sense of how it will all look-- the brick will be painted an white/off-white and the trim around the front box of windows will be a greyish-blue color. With a red front door to pull it all together.

Work seems to be progressing on the inside as well-- we can see evidence of plumbing and electrical work having started. Our pre-drywall inspection will probably be sometime in the next week or two!

On a related note, we bought our first real home purchase over the weekend-- furniture for our rooftop terrace! We had our eye on a set from Home Decorator's Collection for awhile and decided to go ahead and make the purchase while they had a sale going on. Although the set we picked (see a picture below) is on backorder, the estimated ship date is the first week of September which is actually pretty good timing for our mid/late August move.

 I can't wait to sit out on our terrace this fall!
