Update

So I figured I'd pop in and do a quick post/update.

Things have been good! We're still loving our home as much as ever and we're still pretty busy! We've slowed down a good amount just because we were tired (not because we don't have stuff to do!). Over the past few weeks we've:

• Sealed the garage floor
• Put the TV on the wall
• Bought and installed our surround sound speakers in the great room
• Had our fence installed
• Installed all of our ceiling fans
• Put up almost all the curtains (still need to do the morning room)
• Put up shades in the Powder Room
• Replanted the trees in the backyard
• Planted a new tree in the front yard
• Installed a lot of the floor!

Since then we've kind of stalled. Frankly, that floor made me exhausted! This past weekend my dad and I worked on it a little bit. We cut out the rest of gaps needed under door frames. I also added a few more rows in the morning room and finished the area at the bottom of the steps. From here, I think I'm just going to add a little bit here and there throughout the week. Eventually it will get done! It needs to get done! The fact that the floor is half finished is driving me crazy buuut I'm tired and don't want to do it anymore!

I also have to finish our table .. I am seriously a slacker!! I promise I'll have it done soon and post pictures!


Problems

Now that I talked about all the good stuff, I figured I'd mention some stuff that needs fixing. Overall, we haven't run into many problems at all but here's a list:

1. Stain (or bleached spot) on Great Room carpet
2. Nail pops in the hallway
3. Toilet in basement barely flushes
4. Toilet on 1st floor doesn't flush great (maybe the energy efficient factor??)
5. Morning Room door is hard to open and close

Another problem, not related to the house quality, is that our dogs have destroyed a few things in our home already. Awesome, right? They chewed a banister and last night snuck away to pull up some of the carpet. They also dug up 3 or 4 of our trees so those trees have all been moved to the other side of the fence. Currently, we're trying to figure out how to make them stop. Any tips would be very much appreciated!

I hope everyone else is having great experiences!
