We moved in to Mimi's Cottage the week before Thanksgiving 2008. We moved in because we'd sold our old house and escrow had closed and the Title was handed over to the new owners. We moved in, but that didn't mean the new house was finished. Oh no, not by a long shot. The city gave us an occupancy permit but not a certificate of completion. We still had floors to finish, a pantry to complete, interior doors to install, lots of trim and a little paint to apply. This week, 27 months later, we finished the last of the window trim and got our certificate. Finally.
Apparently the mister is feeling better.
Of course, he did get a lot of help from his right hand man.
We do still have a lot to do. Finish the basement, the fireplace and surround, bookcases, some interior doors but our list is getting shorter and shorter.
good for you...always nice to be within the legal limits of home ownership. lookin good.
ReplyDeleteand you know as well as I do, that list will just keep getting added to!
That is good news..it's a beautiful house! :D
ReplyDeleteWahooo! good for you.
ReplyDeleteOkay so I can't find the moda plate website anywhere. Just fabric and bakeshop. I want some of those plates! Don't know why. I went to DI today and bought white plates with red polka dots and cherries on them. Soooo cute. I am ILL!
Yay for you! I'll bet that feels good, huh?
ReplyDeleteWow, I call that pretty darn good! We moved in to this house 28 years ago and I still have unfinished baseboard. Lol!
ReplyDeleteThat must feel great. And I bet you have all the "hard" stuff done already so the rest of your list will be a breeze!
ReplyDeleteAhh, I love that last picture.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you built your house brand new, I thought it was already built when you bought it. You've done a lot in a year. It looks so nice.
I bet you're breathing a sigh of relief. I'm glad your husband is doing better.

What a great feeling. We still have our window frames to finish in the bedrooms downstairs and it has been 10 years!
ReplyDeleteThey look great and adore your little helper. So glad the mister is feeling better.
Almost like graduating! Congratulations. The windows are beautiful by the way!!! And that little helper...just as cute. : )
