A journey lugging aspirations and experiences, tools and ideals.
The kitchen counter tops have been set in place. The are beautiful pieces of black granite. The master bath received its vanity top too. Looking great. The tub found a home in the guest bath, along with the toilet flange.

After cleaning the kitchen for the last time and moving everything else out I strolled through the house and grabbed some last pictures of it. Funny, I had never seen it this empty. Even when we bought the house, the previous owners had left a lot of stuff in it. Something in every room. So, to see TOH completely empty was quite an experience.
She looked good for a 160 year old.
My favorite part of the house was the main stairway. I loved to rub my hands over the banister as I walked up or down the stairs. I often thought about the number of hands that had done the same thing going all the way back to 1863 when she came to be.
We had some of the most beautiful views out of our windows in TOH. On the last day living here, I grabbed a handful just so I never forget just how beautiful they were. I hope you enjoy them just as much as I did.
Wow, I see that the sidewalk has been framed out as I walk up to the house today. We’ll actually be able to walk from the front porch to the driveway now.
Wait! What’s this? The front door is open. It’s inviting me in. ACK! The kitchen cabinets are sitting in place. YES!
The master bath has a vanity too. We are rolling now.

July is showing lots more progress. We are seeing the dryway being taped everywhere. The doors at on site and standing in the rooms ready to be hung. We love the style of the doors with the large panel at the top.
The rains did do it’s thing on the fill around the foundation. I really hope this gets resolved before we close on the house.
The guest bath vanity is installed. This is really happening.

We have a font porch. Our own little piece of happiness in Sadsbury Township.
I took the time to grab a shot of Carol on the porch and some closeups of the porch framing. I just know I’m going to have to do something that requires me to run new wires or hang something heavy. Knowing where all the framing is really helps with that.

Rain, rain, go away. Come back when the grading is all completed. The rains DID come and created lots of wash-outs, large and small, all around the property. UGH. Not a pretty picture.
