The house is moving along quickly

WOW...this week has been such a hectic week as far as the new house goes. I'm actually stressing now because everything is moving so fast and everyone needs my answer, like yesterday, and need me to order things the same day, or cut a check for this and cut a check for that, etc.

Well yesterday I was blessed by Chris who was able to watch Leah for the whole entire day while I had 2 meetings at the job site - 1) Marking all interior doors with what style, which way the door will swing, and what hardware. 2) Meeting with the HVAC guy to go over the duct work, units, etc. etc. (that took 3 hours, which I was only planning on half that time). I also had another meeting scheduled in the afternoon with my tile lady to finish picking out all the tiles for the house, which took 4 hours *sigh*. Needless to say it was a very long day and I wasn't even able to do the errands I wanted to between meetings like go to the mall and return some clothes that I bought for Leah, have a sit down lunch by myself to relax from standing all morning, and go to the bank to deposit checks for the business. Thankfully, I did have time to do one errand, which was drop something off at the post office.

Now today, I had Leah with me at the job site and I had to look at the roofing, siding, and trim samples in full sheets to determine whether or not I want the same colors Chris and I choose a while ago and what roofing color best suits the siding. Then, I had a meeting with the electrician to go over how many outlets, switches, floodlights, can lights, pendent lights, under mounted lights, etc....poor Leah was just not having it being that she was there with me for over 3 hours and I had to have her hand the whole time or carry her so she didn't hurt herself with all the construction going on and the open staircases and huge hole in the middle of the house for the basement (obviously not a child safe environment). Plus of course she had to go potty and there's no place to take her so I told her she can go in her diaper...oh my are you sick of my rampage yet LOL.

As far as schedule goes...the framers will be done this week, the roofer will start Monday morning, and sometime middle to end of next week the doors and windows will be installed.
