November 20

There actually has been a lot of small detail work going on but there aren't a lot of photos to show. We found a table we liked and the kitchen lighting was mostly finished yesterday. The delivery guys announced to Theresa "We are here to deliver your thousand pound table." To which she replied "That is why we paid for delivery!".

The carpenters also have to rehang the doors - there was a 1" gap from the bottom of the doors to the floor. They also have to square the entranceway to the office. The carpenter told us this morning that the top of the entrance to the office was wide enough, the bottom was almost an inch short. He has to cut 1/2" off each side of the bottom of the door lined up to take nothing off of the top. What is bad is that the floors are in place.

The electrician is hanging the chandelier in the dining area and then the ceiling fan/light in the office. We have spent more on lighting than I would have guessed.

We also have found a knob we like. It took many folks visiting 2 states to buy the 50+ knobs we needed from Target. Why not buy them on-line? Shipping for the complete set would have been nearly $130!!!
