The contractor left our house on Tuesday and I'm happy to say that the remodeling process is officially over. The last floor board was hammered into the final closet and nothing more was left for him to do. Of course, that doesn't mean that there's nothing left to do in the house. We still have to find towel rails, hang pictures, choose a rug for the living room, paint one last bedroom and unpack a couple more boxes. But those are things that we can do at our own pace with no one else in the house. After 7 1/2 months of sharing our living space with so many different contractors, it feels great to listen to the quiet and enjoy the peace.
As we sit in front of the fire burning the odds and ends of wood left over from the construction, we can reflect on a job well done. The new rooms are already starting to feel like "ours" and we are beginning to take advantage of the extra space we have. Some time soon we'll have a party and invite you all to see it in person. But for now we're just going to relax, close our eyes and listen to the crackling flames.
