House Number and Hardware
More progress on the house! Today they had our house number placed. They'll have to move it because they haven't painted the house, yet, but it's cool to see! See:
I think it's kinda ugly, but it's our house number, so it's beautiful to me. The red spray paint around it looks a bit morbid, eh?
The hardware has been installed, too! Here's the front door handle:
They better not get paint on it. Sometimes the order of things just doesn't make sense to me.
But, wait. That's not all, folks! The supervisors also marked most of the boo-boos in the house. Some of which we pointed out to them, and some of which we never even noticed. Floor squeaks are marked with "SQ." Here's a big one at the top of the staircase:
They also totally messed up the placement of a light in the master bath. We had no clue. Funny to think that these marks will be on or floor forever.
So our house is all marked up. Ah, well! At least we know that stuff will get fixed. I spoke to Jason, our supervisor, this afternoon, and he said that they will start painting the exterior on Monday! They will also deliver cabinets on Monday and install them on Tuesday, and they will install the railings on Monday and Tuesday! From this point on, we'll need a key from the office to get into the house, so I might not get quite as many pictures. I'm sure you're all sick of them anyway!

so that floor squeak, here is something for you to ponder. when my parents bought their first new house when i was five, they left the squeak at the top of the stairs there so that no one could get past their bedroom, which was also at the top of the stairs without them knowing. worked out well for them on nights that they fell asleep before my curfew, that damn squeak would always wake them up!

Like Alyssa, I'm not sick of the pictures at all. It's fun to see how your house is all coming together, especially now that it's moving along in leaps and bounds.

Not to be alarmist or anything, but I'd feel kind of weird about posting the house address on my blog. Not that people can't find you if they really want to, but just feeling kind of precautious... O.o But it's great that it's finally coming together!

alyssa- I remember you telling me that story, so I considered having them leave it, but it's actually too far back, and very avoidable by teenagers. Bummer. Out it goes.
vee- Thanks! I'll keep the pictures coming!
steph- Thanks, mommy! ;) I thought about that, but, then, 1) you guys are the only ones who read my blog, and you already know the address, and 2), no one knows what street I'm on or what neighborhood I'm in. It's just some number somewhere in Maricopa. When the ax murderer comes, you can say "I told you so."

Funny you think of the marks that will be under the floor. We were having our kitchen redone, the floor was ripped up and our old Labrador went in there and poo'd on the floor. It left a slight stain on the sub floor, so every now and then I'll think about her lil poo stain and it makes miss her :-)
