Can we move in yet?

So...another quick one here. Can you tell we are getting a little exhausted here towards the end? We can't wait to have our weekends back so we can actually enjoy this beautiful house! Lots of good stuff happened this week though, so let's get goin. 

Tuesday and Wednesday the stained concrete guy came to stain the floors in the utility and storage closet. They look awesome, but like the wood floors they tend to get a little dirty when you have tons of people walking through working in the house all day so hopefully they will stay a little cleaner once we're all moved in.
We also had an electrical and driveway inspection Wednesday, which we got another red tag for but he gave us the ok to turn on the power IF we got everything fixed for the final inspection. So the power company is coming out tomorrow to turn on the juice! Woohoo! And since we got the green for the driveway approach, they poured that on Friday. We can walk on it now but can't drive on it for another couple days. Yay no more muddy feet!

 
Yesterday the painters came back. They finished staining/painting the office now that we finally picked a color. And they put a fresh coat of paint on all the baseboards they put in the week before and some exterior pieces on the back that were put in after they were done on their last trip. Looks much more 'finished' now. They still have a few touch-ups left to do but looking great!
Annnd finally, the plumber came and installed almost all of our fixtures yesterday! The tub still needs to be tiled, but Rob cut a hole for it to make sure it would all fit good. Looks good to me! And check out the size of this tub....that's what we get for not seeing in person before ordering. Wow...I had no idea how big it was going to look! He turned on the water too, so they even work. :) Nice to be able to wash our hands out there in a real sink...and go to the bathroom once we get some seats (and toilet paper) haha. We tested out the shower a little and it's pretty crazy with all the knobs and everything. I'm sure we'll get used to it...Rob was VERY excited about it.


Oh I almost forgot, as part of our final inspection we know we had to have all the vents/pipes coming out of the roof painted so someone got out a can of spray paint today after he finished converting the range top from natural gas to propane, and fitting the vent hood area for the hood liner we got. Busy busy!!
You can't even see them now! It's like magic.
 It's all starting to come together. Only a few more things left! Yesss.
