Not Done Yet!

As you know we were hoping to close on our cabin on April 15...tax day!  It didn't happened.  We are still a good week away.  We went to the cabin to see the progress and determine where we are in the process.  It was a great treat to see our kitchen and bathroom cabinets in place...and they turned out beautiful!  Again, it was a bit scary hoping that the wood we picked out and style of cabinets would look good in a log home...but our designer did not lead us astray, as they turned out great!

We have door frames and doors hung and the banisters in for the stairs.  The banisters are exactly what we had hoped and look wonderful.  All the trim on the ceilings have been completed and the baseboards are all in.  Most of our windows have been trimmed, which also gives a great finished look in and around the house.

There seems to be many small things to be done: like lights, electric switches, plugs, door knobs, toilets, sinks, and trim work...so we are guessing that at least another week before we can anticipate the final inspection and receipt of the ever elusive "certificate of occupancy"!

We will keep you posted!  Thanks for sharing our journey...we are almost home!
