The first coat of finish has been applied to the front door. It is no longer covered in plastic!

The master closet shelving is in.

The hardwood floors are all installed. They will start finishing them tomorrow, so no one will be allowed near them for the next several days – a bit of a breather for us!

The mud room wainscoating is going up, and the lockers will be built soon.

The kitchen cabinet installation was finishing up today.
