Our front door is in

Behold...

We plan to stain it and try to match the shingles as closely as we can. Our builder says we're probably going with a Behr stain, as he doesn't think any Minwax will provide a close enough color match. The glass looks funny because it's still covered with film. And I think we're getting this door hardware.

Today much of the paper came up off the floors, the staircase handrail was measured out for installation, and more of our lights came in. Also, window coverings we originally had, like our plantation shutters, were reinstalled; one blind they put back up coulda gotten lost and I wouldn't have minded.

T-minus 22 days, give or take!

Floors and doors

Dork alert: I shot a video for you all, so you could get more than random pictures of different rooms. And part way through it, I flipped my phone horizontally, thinking I'd capture a wider view. Yeah, no. That's not what happens. You get a sideways view instead. I'll try again this weekend, because I think a video at this point will really be cool.

The view from outside the house hasn't changed much at all. Ah, but on the inside, big doings are afoot.
