Things are going well

I don't have any photos today, just a brief report. The last treatment of the floors was done yesterday, and we are to stay out of the house for several days. We were able to peek through the windows from the eating and drinking porches to view the floors. They look just how I wanted ---- no longer any sheen. They have a satin finish. I can't wait to experience them firsthand, not through a window, but bottom line, they turned out great.

Brad and I went through things that we had stored in the garage at the beginning of construction and found a few things to discard, so we made a trip to the city dump. We also picked lots of okra and some tomatoes.
I will do more work on the porch furniture tomorrow ---- wiping with ammonia water, after spraying to kill bugs (specifically spiders). We've done about half so I hope to complete that job.

I finally made a selection for bar stools and ordered them. Here's a photo --- guess I had one after all. The cherry and black should look nice in the kitchen.

Yesterday I made a decision on knobs for the cabinet in the master bathroom. They are similar to the knobs in the kitchen, but instead of being "blackened pewter," they are "antique nickel" --- not as much black in them.

And we have really good news: we have a signed contract to sell our house. We just need to get through having the house inspected sometime this week and then it will be official. Sept. 16 is their target move-in date so we need to be cleared out by then ----- that was four weeks from yesterday. We are so grateful for this development.
