We flew here this morning/afternoon with a lunch stop at St. Simon's Island, GA. 3 hours, 11 minutes total flying time. It was a very smooth flight - with a tailwind for a change. Captain Jeff was excellent as usual. We're here at the Gaylord Palms (a view from our room below) for the annual NAVC (North America Veterinary Conference). Beside fulfilling Jeff's annual Continuing Education requirement, it is also a chance to go a bit farther south and see his brothers.
Normally this is one of our most favorite trips, but it was hard to leave home with so much happening at the new house. They installed the outside entry light.
We need to order a rug for the Family Room? (Great Room? Living Room?) so Jeff made cut-outs of our furniture, and we tried it out on the floor.
Here it is with an 8' x 10' rug (aka an electric cord). We decided on a 10' x 13' instead.
Most of the electrical work is done. Most of the outlets, switches, etc and installed and the panel is wired. Below is our 'charging station'.
It looks like a bad hair job.
The dishwasher is installed
My kitchen faucet. We wondered about the blue light (since we don't have electricity) and found out that the faucet is a 'touch' faucet and the blue light runs on a battery. The internet is a great source of information - Google: I have a blue light on my faucet - what is it? Answer: Delta faucet ..........
Our joke is that our favorite lighting fixture is the bare bulb in the kitchen. Eventually it will be our island light - with any luck, it will be a masterpiece.
The Powder Room light - the vanity is neat but can't be installed until the flooring is in.
Surprise - they started to install the hardwood. We thought that was going to happen next week. It fun to see it 'in person' since we picked it out from a small sample. This is the guest room.
and in the room to be named.
Jeff was insistent that we not have the threshold by the slider be above the level of the floor. There was some grumbling when the slab was poured, but it came out perfectly. Now if our 'old friends' visit with their walkers, they won't have a speed bump going on to the porch.
It's not this shiny in person.
Jeff ordered all the shelving for the pantry and storage area online and had to pick it up from the freight company. He definitely maxed out our little pick-up. Unfortunately there was a bit of a mix-up in the order - you'll have to talk to him about that!
We had an email from the patio people - they will start on Monday and finish my Wednesday. After that, they will start with the landscaping. It is almost finished! The designer at the patio place said she will send photos - plus our trusty 'second', Phil, will be on the job.
Of course I need to add a few photos of the pets. Below are three of the reasons we love to come home, and why we hate to leave.
To all a "Good Night" - this is where Marcus and Rosie love to sleep until it's crate time. I love these photos.
