Grading and fence

The grading of the yard is done....

And the posts are set for the fence...

Hopefully we will have a fence by the end of today!  It's closing day tomorrow!!!! We are very excited!  The girls haven't been to the house in almost two weeks.  They have seen this entire process and islets something they get excited about.  So all this week I heard was...how many days until we get to move into our new house?

Painted...

Yesterday the exterior of the house got painted.  The girls and I have yet to see it in person, since we are in Des Moines.  Here it is without the trim painted....

And look at it now!

We couldn't be more excited!

Trees and hardware

Today they came out and took out the trees...

The hardware in the bathroom and the doors are almost done...

Almost there...

Carpet

Today they installed the carpet upstairs!  Here is Andrea's room...

Alyssa's room...

Katie's room...

And the master...

Master closet with a cute baby....

It is hard to tell from these pictures, but the carpet is gray.  It looks wonderful!  They have the steps to do as well as the den.  The trim carpenter was there today and almost finished things up.  They drywall guy was there as well and patched up all the holes!  Hopefully that means the 2nd coat if paint is on its way and the exterior paint as well.
