Progress on the door and front porch stairs

 Today, hubby, Max & I went out to the house to work on stripping the front door some more.  We finally got the majority of the old green color off, and now there's just some small detail work to do.  We got out there around noon and left at 5 because it was getting cold and Max was worn out.  He fell asleep on the way home.  My dad and brother got there about an hour later and started working on the front porch stairs.  Dad's back tire found our culvert and we had to ask a neighbor to help us pull him out.  But I finally got to meet the lady who has 2 little boys around Max's age.  :)  We cleaned up the trash in the yard and were going to unload the pallets for the walkway but ran out of time.  Next time!  Once the stairs are in place, we'll use them as our guide.

Water line

We also discovered that the water line from the meter to the house had been disconnected, so that's going to have to be fixed before inspection.  Other than that, we should be ready.

Gutters are scheduled to be installed on Monday, the 26th.  Then we'll see when we can have the flooring company come out and measure for the new vinyl sheet floor.

Trying to see what all happens after we pass inspection.  We'll get the power hooked up, then the internet.  We should also get a certificate of occupancy too?  Looking to move in mid-late March when all is said and done.  So around our anniversary.
