More updates

Uninteresting but important work continues. The grading was re-done Thursday and the last of the junk hauled away. Paul called for the survey Thursday night. We bought a washer and dryer pair via Craigslist on Thursday, and spent the evening acquiring the necessary pieces (new dryer cord, vent, new washer intake hoses) and hooking it all up. After a few false starts with excessive water leaks (that's why we needed the new hoses) it was all up and working properly. We like the new machines. The dryer is very fast.

Paul spend Saturday installing the new silt fence, and more organization. The shower door in the main bathroom is in. Paul made mistakes in its installation, but at least it's in. We also have a new cabinet above the washer and dryer, and the laundry room is finally clean and organized. Maybe we'll want a little table or something in there, but we'll see. It looks good.

Closing on the mortgage was uninteresting, it was just a lot of paper signing.

The surveyor came Monday. Tuesday he picks up the results from their office, takes them to Oak Creek and schedules the building inspection.
