So....I guess listing by May 15th is out?

Yep - I guess  that ship has sailed - but ... I am still hoping to get this little house completed by June 1st! 

If only my motivation were all that I needed to finish :) 

I think the floors look good though! It only took three different floor guys until I could find someone to complete the job! 

Too bad I could not convince the contractors to cover the newly finished floors before walking on them and tracking in mud. :/

2 hours spent cleaning - and covering with Rosin paper. Not the end of the world - I know ... But I do have blisters on my knees, and I hate wasting time.

Oh well - note to self ...

Next time - I will be the first one back in when the floors are ready and get them covered before anyone else walks on them! 

Appliances were delivered - so that was a happy surprise. 

I found Lowes to be the best price for what I was buying, and I like dealing with them , so that was an easy choice.

Not too happy about this scratch, but their customer service is great, and the new fridge is already ordered.

The windows have been in the house , ready to be installed for a couple of months now. Somehow it was only after the old window was removed (on this rainy day) that the installer decided it was not going to be the best fit. So unfortunately ... We have the plywood / abandoned house look now. 

Never a good look ! 

This is not going to attract buyers! 

Sadly - yesterday's downpours also took with them all of my beautiful peonies! I hope there will be a few new blooms before the house hits the market. They were gorgeous! 

Maybe the day lilies I transplanted from the back yard to surround the flag will be blooming by then. My timing on the yard has not been the best so far, but I have been able to enjoy the lilacs, tulips, bleeding heart, lily of the valley and clematis. The new owners will have the joy next year. :)
