We took a handful of photos, but the paint colors look crazy compared to what they actually look like, so keep that in mind when viewing the below posted photos:

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Well, we stopped by the house this morning before going to Carol and Darrel's for noon dinner. Much to our suprise, we found John caulking the Hardie Board and Jeff painting the breezeway. We told them to go home, but they were completely happy to be getting some work done.

"...just let me finish, Angela..."
What the contractor told Angela when she asked what she could do to help them get our house finished!!!
With Thanksgiving occupying Thursday this week, we really wonder how in the heck Dennis thinks he's going to wrap things up at the Risdon House. After calling him tonight around 4:45, Angela was told she was expecting TOO much when questioning Dennis on why more hadn't been finished on the house today. Really? Would our bosses let us to leave work early when we were already a month behind schedule on one of our projects?!
Overtime, anyone?
Anywho, here are some pics from today...

Quickly...
Well, here are some photos from the weekend. The floors are almost done...
Today Dennis has a total of 8 guys on the site; 2 painting, 3 flooring, 2 tiling in the bathrooms, and one GC with a concussion who can't bend over. :)
They are busting their butts to get as much done by this weekend, so we can begin moving things in...or rather, having furniture and appliances delivered.

Flooring...
We bought some marble tiles last weekend for our hearth. Today they set those tiles.
The hardwood floors have also been delivered and are sitting in the house currently.
On our front, we did some major shopping this weekend. We successfully found granite countertops in our budget...WELL within our budget. We also bought a refrigerator, a stove, a sink console for our bathroom (with a marble top!) and a wonderfully comfortable mattress for our bedroom. We are going back to Sears on Sunday night for the friends and family night sales event to purchase a dishwasher and a washer and dryer. After that we should have all the major appliances wrapped up.
In by December? Doubtful.

November update...
We've been so busy with everything that we've failed to keep the blog up to date.
The deck is finished. It's going to be awesome. The gate is going to be great for keeping the dogs OFF the deck.
The walls have been primed and the trim is going up now along with the doors. We're waiting for the painter to finish his work before they bring the hardwoods in to acclimate to our house. We're working towards the final push, but we're still about a month out.
Dennis claims we'll be in by the end of the month, but we're doubtful.

More Drywall, but not much else...
Oops, not true. Joel has got some major holes dug for the deck piers. He was also kind enough to chop down a terribly overgrown flowering bush thing just off the existing patio as well as the nasty beat up privacy screen to the North of the patio. Thanks, Joel!
And Jason and his guy got a ton more drywall hung today. See photos:

Really Quick...
Well, yet another truck drove all over our yard today...what difference will a few more rutts make?!
These new rutts are the product of massive amounts of drywall being delivered.
Also, we met with Joel tonight regarding the back porch and have paid him his first installment of cash so he can get a move on. We are really excited about the porch and can't wait to entertain out there!
So, we'll post some photos later...for now it's bedtime. We've been working on our inventory for the past couple of hours. We found a track on the voice recorder thing that we thought we had deleted and have rocked out the breezeway, bathroom and dining room pantry!!!! Hooray!
