Well not really…… But it certainly feels like.
As of Friday we become nomads. The weekend will be spent in Vermont which will be very nice. Then Sunday to Wednesday we are taking advantage of Marriott points and staying in a hotel in Brooklyn. Then thankfully we have Thanksgiving - heading up to Vermont Wednesday night until Sunday. Emma & Leighton have kindly invited us over for Thanksgiving Turkey - yum, yum…… Then back to NY and Conor and Jess have very sweetly decided to go on holiday to South America so we can house sit and dog sit for a week. Then……. we may or may not have a flat to move into.
However, with all this said we are very very fortunate post Superstorm Sandy and really cannot complain.
Some photos from today's site visit - always feel a little sneaky taking photos when everyone is there - how silly is that…..

| Grouting in on the tiles for the bathroom floor - personally I think it looks awesome - note the varying stairs to accommodate the slope in the apartment |
 |
| We weren't allowed in as grouting drying so not great photo of the bathroom |
 |
| The sleeve for the HVAC condenser - Jon reckons he can get 3 dwarfs in there!!! |
 |
| For those of you interested - the door trim |

| The master bedroom window - Brian is amazing!!!! |

| Alcove on the 8th floor - original brick and evidence of a fire |

| Looking from kitchen towards staircase starting to take shape and Francesco admiring his work - sadly Francesco lost his house in the storm, so we love him even more for making our stairs |

| From kitchen looking up at stairs |
 |
| The curve of the stair starting to take shape |

| We won't see this once the sheet rock is up but check out the brick work arch over the window |
Wow. It is really all beginning to take shape. I can smell the fresh paint from here. The big window looks fabulous. The stair case looks quirky! Good luck with all the temporary accomodation arrangements. Hippo is going to be very bored when you all move in and settle down
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is. And windows in today - or so they say!!! Hadn't thought of that, but you are right Hippo probably will be quite bored. Have to say I think we will enjoy the boredom of settling in.
