Kids are in their new bedrooms

We started moving stuff into the new rooms now. The kids are in their new bedrooms. The new bathroom is being used, and the bulk of the living room furniture is in the new livingroom. Still have plenty more to rearrange, but at least we can finally start using the new space in the house.

Carpeting is done

Carpets are done in the house. We went with Mohawk brand, SmartStrand. They are corn-based threads, which are better for the environment, naturally stain-resistant, and naturally very soft. All the floors upstairs are the same grey color. That way, it won't clash with any paint we use in the future. Downstairs is a pale tan color.

Septic system is in

We have a huge septic/cesspool system now. A very large septic tank, and two large cesspools, which take up most of the front yard. Oh well, it has to be done, as per the Health department.... At least they are commercial-grade tanks, so we can drive over them when they are finished.

More inspector delays....

We need inspections for the septic system, so the excavator doesn't want to start digging the hole until Monday....

Most of the inside plumbing is done, at least. Just the final connection to the new waste pipe (can't do it yet, since the new pipe doesn't go anywhere.... :) )
