We were really happy to see the first stairs to our house put in today. These stairs descend from the second-floor deck to the ground (they don't quite make it to the ground yet, but they will). We spent a lot of time shopping over the weekend. We looked for bendable, rectangular trim, a product we've decided is purely mythical. We also looked for a replacement sink and tub/shower unit for our first-floor bathroom, since the ones our gracious friends in Kingston gave us won't fit with the curved wall and piping, respectively. (We will still find a home for them in the basement apartment, but we were really hoping to use them ourselves.) We also checked out some couches at a couple of stores and think we might have found the one we've been looking for. It's a very nice sectional with a sofa bed. We were worried it would be too big for the living room, but we measured the space and it looks like it might work out. We're planning on visiting at least one more store before we decide.
Finally, we bought our interior doors yesterday. They are all clear pine doors with five rectangular "lights" (glass panes) of translucent glass. They will be stained to coordinate with the other woods in the house. We expect to receive them in about four to six weeks.

Oh my God! Stairs AND railings! your house is getting safer by the day! Interior stairs will also blow my mind (though I navigated those ladders in heels pretty well, if I do say so myself.) Congrats guys, it's really coming along!
4 - 6 weeks for the doors? Did I say that?
It's a lot harder for me to weasel out of promises when you write them down..
