    October should be our move in month.  These final two months have been a whirlwind trying to get our Tulsa home ready to sell and continuing to finish the cabin.  The house is on the market and we have had 2 open houses.  No offers yet.  We are to close on our cabin Sept. 25th.  Keeping  the faith and praying our house in Tulsa will sell soon. 
     Help from family and friends continues to come.  All but one room is now painted thanks to our friends Gary and Mike and my brother Dennis and my sister Melinda.   It is always good to have women folk around to give new perspectives on how our kitchen should be laid out.  Had good advice from Donna and Sue.  I now have my kitchen how I have been wanting it.   And a big thanks to my sweet sister in law Margaret for bringing a lunch out on that day of painting.  All help in their own way.  Terry's brother Dan has been coming a lot lately to hang lights throughout the house.  He has wired up our outlets and switches and added covers.
     Granite and carpet has been ordered and is coming soon.  This will really change the look of the cabin.   Our septic system was approved by the DEQ and our propane tank will be delivered this week.  We have a friend named Rich who will help us decide how to finish our driveway so Finn our grandson can get into the house easily in his wheelchair.    This Saturday a group from our life group will help with  clean up, a little staining, and pull plastic off the windows.
    Here are  the "latest" pictures on what has been done since our last blog.  Enjoy!
I love my chandelier that Terry's brother Dan hung for me.  This is my "mud room" which  will house the washer and dryer.  Terry and Mike finished the tile floor.  It turned out great.

This light is in the entry way.  I am tempted to add some "bling" to this one too.  Thanks to Gary and Donna for this light.
They were getting a new light for their kitchen makeover so our cabin is the new home for their light.


A front porch was added last week.  Railing will come next.

My kitchen.   I have a farm sink which I have always wanted.  The island will have an exotic piece of granite with a more solid slate color for the counter tops.  I am so excited to see the kitchen completed.  

This is our walk in shower.  Terry did another awesome job on our master shower.
All bathroom vanities have been ordered.  Toilets are set and we're waiting for the vanities to arrive.
 Fans and lights in the Great Room
Out new garage door.  The cabin is feeling more secure.





Thank you for following us this year of building.  We are getting closer and could not do it without you
