Well, hello there.

Things are not moving as quickly as I would like given that we’re trying to move in in five(!) weeks.

However, a week ago, we were still missing one appliance prior to our pending installation. But, late this week, I received some excellent news that this piece had come in. For reference, we ordered our appliances in August.

They are supposed to be installed Monday, February 1. Woohoo!

Meanwhile, the painters have been priming and the plumbers have been putting in the trim pieces.

The painters left me some samples. I like the one on the right. Can you guess what this is for???

Barry D. has finished and delivered all base pieces for the library built-ins.

They are in position to be installed.

Today, we delivered 2 of the 4 tops. They are gigantic. Barry is very serious about this and unsure as to how we are going to transport the remaining 2 (largest) tops from his shop to the library.

Meanwhile, I’ve been packing away at our current house. I ordered a lot of boxes and they are filling up quickly.

Shelves and cabinets are not seeming to empty quickly, however. There is still so much to pack.

The cat is very proud of himself for getting up onto the empty shelves…

Also, I think I need a new phone. Photo quality is quite poor.
