Spring paint is done!

The island is painted 
And so is the entry door! 

They also filled holes in the molding and on the columns, painted the garage man door and the door off of our master bedroom, and were here most of the day. 

The Lowes guy was back to finish installing the right pieces on our blinds and out screen doors will be installed next week! Hopefully we will have a solid idea of our patios and sidewalk so that can get started soon as well. 

If 84 lumber doesn't call us by the end of the week to fix our leaky window, we will be calling customer care again. 

It feels good to get settled and have things checked off of our list! :)

Feelin' good... And then came rain.

We had our blinds fixed today and talked to our old project manager's boss about getting our spring paint and exterior items finished. Things were looking good to finally be done with projects. Then we got water in our sunroom windowsill. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from for awhile but realized it was dripping down the top of our middle window. 
The puddle, even though it's hard to see.
The constant dripping

I made a second phone call to the WH rep I talked to earlier and had the blinds guy take down the sunroom blinds so they don't get ruined. 

Here is to hoping we can wrap this all up!

Fireplace = repaired. Spring paint? Up in the air.

Yesterday, Kerns came to fix our fireplace. It took about 15 minutes and we are so happy that's over with. 

Now we are waiting on Spring paint (exterior nail holes, front door and sidelights, and our island paint & repair since we are on our third countertop and second caulk). Our field manager is doing some work in a new office in West Virginia so all of his homes are being taken care of by his boss.

Hopefully this gets taken care of so we can get our screen doors installed! We don't like turning on our air conditioning until we have to. :) 

In other news, we had to call Lowe's to have our Bali blinds changed from tilt wands to cords. Nearly all of the wands broke on their second or third use, so that was disappointing given what we paid for them. They look nice, so hopefully the switch to cords will help their longevity.
