Wanted: Furniture

Furniture. We need it. I have to get it. ASAP. This is going to prove to be a challenge for someone whose shopping habits center around browsing through catalogs.

I've logged at least a dozen hours online, looking at furniture and creating way too many "bookmarks". Starting tomorrow I will hit the road and see what I can gather in person.

In other news: had a terrific meeting today with the representative of an organization that runs programs that are *extremely* relevant to families having babies or families with children under five years old. I'll share more news when we get closer to final arrangements, but look forward to some terrific program offerings right at CFB! Very exciting.

Livin' at CFB this week.

I have logged more hours at CFB this week then at any other time in this process. Yesterday was a beehive of activity: cabinets, painting, carpentry, tiling, plumbing...all going on at once.
Here are some pictures, mostly of cabinetry in various states of completion. The tiling guy plans to work all weekend. It's pretty awesome watching these people work. It's amazing what people can still do with their own two hands and a large collection of power tools!

Today's Construction Work: Cabinet Installation

Wednesday November 10, 2010

The cabinet installation begins. Progress was slow but steady. And then we had a minor incident when they drilled into a water pipe (the plumbers used some new-fangled piping that is not copper). 

We also had the carpet delivered. That's a LOT of carpet.

Best of all, we had visitors:
