Not too bad I guess, but I am getting impatient for all the last things to get done.
But we do have floors, just finished today! I just have one photo to post, in Marina's room, since the other rooms have cardboard pieces or appliance boxes on them, and they haven't been swept from this week's drywalling and sanding (for the heater closet and living room doorway). But I keep walking around the area barefoot cause it feels so good, so warm! They still need the edge piece and baseboards and some thresholds, so I'll post more pics when it all looks spiffy.

Next to come is finishing up the last of the painting, electrical, plumbing and finally appliance installment (I can barely remember what we ordered).
The roofers came and put dormers and vents in the red tile roof. And, I just looked out my window onto that part of the roof, and see that the guy replaced a few broken tiles as well! Nice! The heater can go in anytime after the painting is done. Sort of anti-climatic that we won't be using it for another 5 or 6 months!
But we're starting to look at bathroom stuff and stair carpet for the next phase. It's hard to build up enthusiasm for it somehow - maybe has to do with kitchen overwhelm, job overwhelm, lots of offspring activity (Marina is getting readying herself for her travels to Israel/Romania/E.Europe and moving to Portland, and Ethan is finishing school, renting a house, AIDS ride and moving back home!) and then also getting geared up for Strawberry music fest! How could I not be overwhelmed?
BREATHE!

That was a nice surprise to be walking down State Street and to look up and see familiar faces... What are the odds that we would see the only two people that we know in Santa Barbara? The house is coming together quite nicely. If you do have an event that shows off the newly remodeled areas, count us in!
