Moving on Up!

We now have tile and doors, which means all of the biggies that Chris and I had to do are pretty much done. Our kitchen should be installed this week, if everything goes according to plan--just in time for our weekend guests, in town for Paul and Laurel's wedding. We still have some minor things to do such as molding, quarter-round, small paint jobs, etc., but the end is in sight!

While looking around at the back garden to determine what shrubs needed trimming (out of desparation we hired a gardener to do a one time mow and trim because we don't have any garden tools yet, including a mower), we noticed that our shrubs were the victims of a hostile takeover. We began our counter-attack...









and succeeded.
