And the kitchen continues to progress. Here are a couple of shots of the counters and the new appliances!
And a look at the range hood from the living room side.

Partially to catch up and partially because the finish work won't show you the big changes that we've been displaying so far. From here on out, the pictures will mostly be of things as they're completely finished.
The soffit was completed.
The porch boards were all laid and most of the ceiling was completed.
The majority of the tiling in the bathrooms is now complete.
And vanity tops were placed and plumbed.

Day 74 - 12/29
The cabinets we have were all set.
The deck progress continues.
And after being treated like an know-nothing ass for weeks by Mastercraft doors, Menards decided to take it back, easing my pain greatly. The Mastercraft front door frame wasn't square, was poorly constructed (gaps in joints, missing framing cleats...) and the door itself was warped.
We ordered a new door that will hopefully be ready in 7-10 days...
Again, stay away from Mastercraft doors.

Day 73 - 12/28
Finishing closets! Here's the master closet (the other side is the same, but reversed). 
Work began on the deck.
And some of the cupboards arrived. We were fairly certain that they would never arrive. I'm not convinced that the remainder will ever show up. All the lowers are here though, so at least we can get measured for countertops and move on with the kitchen renovation.

Day 69 - 12/18
The refinishing of the floors was completed! Unfortunately, we were warned at about 3PM that we would not be able to walk on the floors until 8AM the next morning.
In the end though, the floors are definitely worth it.

More base was set upstairs and down.
The downstairs windows were trimmed out, both sash and casing were placed.
And some more of the stair rail was set!

Day 67 - 12/16
We have carpet! It really feels like the project is drawing to a close. We're looking forward to getting started with moving our things back into the living space in the house and the carpet is the step we've been waiting on to begin the move-back.
Alex found the carpet overage in the closet and immediately jumped in!

Day 66 - 12/15
More finish work is being completed every day. Almost all of the baseboard is placed now.
I'm not even sure how all of this will look when it's completed, but they keep working on the stairs.
And we got home to find that our contractor did us a huge favor by moving everything off the floor in the bedrooms and stuffing it into the bathrooms. Everything has to be out of the way for the carpet that's arriving tomorrow! Tomorrow is the day that will make it feel like we've gotten somewhere after all this time.

Day 65 - 12/14
Finally, the finish work is really happening!
Quite a lot of the base for the stair rails was laid today.
And the baseboard is being placed with all due speed.
And here are some signs of things to come.
