Settling in, but not done

Abby and I unpacked her room today - finished the butterfly shelves (profile looks like butterfly wings - I made them) and put back her music boxes and fairies... still can't find her Beatrix Potter... so there's one box missing.

Also finished some electrical work, met the shower door installer - they broke the glass door, and misplaced the dimensions, so had to come over again to re-measure... I've had some interesting vendor experiences in this ordeal.

For those keeping score, only item remaining from the list last week are the banisters - bought the new spindles and bit I need to install, will try for tomorrow - Abby is staying by Mimi to free me up some time (Jen and Will are in Ohio/Michigan - UofM event, go Blue).

I'll probably be blogging less frequently going forward, but I'm probably not done until the party - certainly not until final inspection...

One last noteworth item to mention... the greatest Chinese Drywall Remediator in the country left today - my brother, David - close the book (we think) at 1,056.1 hours over 114 days, 18 tasks (all of 'em). That's 9.25 hours per day, or a 64.75 hour work week for, basically, 16 weeks. We'd never have made it without him.
