Now that we have passed our final, the fences came down on Wednesday. It looks so great without them, as you can see in the picture above. I remember how excited I was to see the fences in the first place, since it meant that we were really getting started, but to see them come down is even better! I have actually driven on the driveway -- amazing how the little things take on so much significance when you get to do them for the first time!
The painters have been here touching up the paint and finishing the baseboards, and the place looks really nice. The painters are coming back on Monday to paint the front door, finish a few touch up spots and paint the downspouts. Todd and Matt still need to add the base shoe around the cabinets, but the painters already stained it, so they should be able to do that on Monday. They will also hang all the doors back up then. Of course, we won't have interior door knobs until the middle of November, but that is just a small hiccup. Todd installed all of the new cabinet hardware on Thursday, which you can see in this picture:
Also, the cleaners came on Thursday. I think it was a little premature, but you should see how great the place looks. They cleaned everything (except the freezer), including the windows -- of course, it rained last night, so I only got really clean windows for two days. The picture below I took standing on the banquette, so that you can see the clean kitchen, with the clean windows right behind it.
Here is another shot of the built in bookshelves in the family room:
