Heat Pump install needs 50% up front and LO is out today, so can't request check from EEM escrow yet, but Window Replacement application to PUD is signed and off. Home Warranty purchased (including septic & well coverage for first year). Friday and Monday confirmed off from work. Mom watching kids for the "long weekend". Lots of painting to do. Even got some work done at work today.

So its been about 6 months now how is the new house coming along?
Brilliantly. We have the yard fenced and a dog adopted. Almost all the walls are painted. Built a murphy bed in the 3rd bedroom/office and even had an out of town guest last weekend.
Still projects ahead, of course, but we had a pretty good clip going this summer.
