(almost) Ready for move in

 More hard work this past week at 45 Monkton.  Finally, Friday, the countertops arrived (for the most part - we're still waiting on a fancy sink!).  The bulk of the "move in" items arrive tomorrow, followed by the family on Tuesday night.

Finishing craziness

The last 2 weeks as been crazy at 45 Monkton.  There was a week and half delay with the kitchen and a landlord that wasn't too flexible on granting 3 extra days rent, which meant my camera stays in its pocket and I essentially set up an office onsite to supervise.

On any given day over the last 2 weeks, we've had 6 to 8 trades, representing 10 to 15 people at the house on a daily basis.  If there was no referee there (me), chaos would reign.  However, with professional guys and a little organization, things move smoothly.  It's at these times that I'm really glad I've found great trades, and jack-of-all-trades guys that can handle responsibility like Mike (my painter) and Juvee.

The madness continues tomorrow...
