Installed the garage door opener
Stained and installed the handrail down the stairs
Started staining the front door (it still needs its top coat)
Put the kitchen cabinet hardware on
Chris also sealed the front and back entry tile, did touch up painting, hooked up all the appliances, put the backing on the kitchen peninsula, installed clothes rods in closets and the laundry room, and probably other stuff that I can't remember....Not to mention we unpacked--we moved March 13th!

How Max felt about being in his new house:
The appraiser came Monday, March 22 and the final inspection was Tuesday March 23rd. We passed! and the Certificate of Occupancy was granted to us. We still have a handful of things to do but what house doesn't?! We'll keep the blog "alive" to add things as we do them. After all, the original point of this blog was for me to slurp "the making of our house" into a book...That's right, you readers are just an added bonus. :) And yes, an open house is coming soon! Hope to see you soon!
