Q1

We have officially ended week twelve.  The good news is that it appears to be week twelve of thirteen!  We received a gift for the kitchen of an Angel of the Kitchen (thanks Paula)- I'm thinking it will bring good luck!  All appliances are in and working.  The plumbing is complete.  The floors received their final coat on Thursday.  Yesterday we moved some of our furniture back in- what we can move ourselves.  We had company for dinner last night and ate at the kitchen table in the kitchen!  I am typing this at my new kitchen counter, sipping a freshly brewed cup of coffee and the TV is playing in the background.  The crew is scheduled to return tomorrow to finish up a few final details.  They'll move the larger furniture, and they'll will also haul away the old refrigerator that is still sitting in the dining room.  And now the slow process of moving back in begins.  What goes where is going to take some time!
