Good news and bad news...

The good news is - dry wall is complete!! The guys worked Saturday and Monday (a holiday) to finishe - yay. Bad news is, the taper can't come in to start the next step until Friday :( That puts us a few days behind on interior finishing. The regular crew is continuing its work, however, so it's not like nothing is getting done. Still, a tad disappointing as this pretty much guarantees we won't be in until early September now.

Here's what it looks like from behind - they're almost finished with the window trim:

We're still hoping for doors this week.... but won't hold our breath.

Drywall has started...

and we were quite surprised, considering that we hadn't heard extra noise coming from the site. Must be quieter work than we imagined. Also, they guys are almost done siding the bay window side of the house :)
