Lots of Happenings

There is a lot that goes on in the life of houses. Most are not physical changes that you can see, so I thought that I would fill you in on what we have been up to this last week. Its been a little busy...

• The kitchen sink and bathtub for the master bath at St. Andrews were chosen by me and ordered by Ryan. ( I like to take credit but really its mostly Ryan)
• We have looked at another potential house to renovate, but it smelled so bad that I had to leave. Ryan sent in an offer, but ours wasn't the best.
• There was a closing yesterday on a house that some of our close friends bought. Ryan has been dealing with that and getting all the details in order. 
• Ryan had an open house on Sunday at his parent's house. He had a nice turnout, so hopefully there will be continued interest.
• We went to Somerville and met with the cabinet maker that we use. We finalized layouts and made selections on all of the cabinets that will be used at St. Andrews.  This includes the kitchen, all the bathrooms, the laundry room and the butler's pantry. 
• We picked out all of the tile last weekend and it has been ordered.
• Ryan is currently negotiating on another house that we may decide to move in ourselves. If it works out we'll be looking for nice owners for our current home.
• There has also been a good bit of activity at St. Andrews as we get closer to installing finishes. Ryan and Chris run a pretty tight ship over there and really push to keep everything on schedule, which is not an easy task.

On a personal note duck season is over so Ryan is very sad and I am not so sad, just kidding, kind of.
