Holy Crap!

Things are moving real fast now. We could possibly be moved by Dec. 10. In short order they have painted, put in most of the flooring, started the trim work and interior doors, finished the deck (and it is righteous!), started to install bathroom and kitchen cabinets and lights. The appliances are to be delivered Monday and phone/internet to be installed Tuesday. Here are what the paint colors look like:
This is the master bedroom.

This is most of the rest of the house (Kilim Beige).

This is the study (Taupe).

Here is the kitchen. Notice bamboo floors. The walls will have a backsplash of subway tiles in biscuit and browns. The counters are a mottled dark brown (laminate).
Hope they don't get screwed up. We were supposed to get a green counter for the powder room, but all three bathrooms are now biscuit.

That's one hell of a deck, eh? It is 32 feet long and 12 feet deep. We already decided to put the gas grill on it, plus adirondack chairs, a dining table with chairs and umbrella. Join us for mojitos this summer.

We had Stan D.  plow this up for us, since we don't own a tractor. He also ended up plowing up some history.

Notice the creepy glass doll head...
Anyway, it seems the story of the old house located near the road is true. Joe, Tim and Ryan spent part of a lunch break kicking this stuff up. I'm sure the rain and weather will expose more. Hope there isn't an ancient Indian burial ground nearby (like in Poltergiest). Whoa, watch out for the TV!
They say the best stuff is often found in old privies. Guess the soil may be more fertile then we thought.
Happy turkey day to all.
