Now here's some progress! Bud picked up the dining room table, its chairs and the sideboard from the refinisher this afternoon.

See, there they are ... IN THE DINING ROOM!! How shocked are you?

Bud was talking with Gary and Jimmy this morning about where we could put the table until the final inspection, and it turns out that we can move into the old part of the house even before the final. Who knew?

So when Kathy made her first cleaning visit today, we asked her to start in the dining room instead of upstairs. (She's speedy, though. She also got the master bedroom finished, except for the windows.)

Outside this morning, Bud, Gary and Jimmy placed the post caps on the columns and Gary sealed them. They're bigger than I pictured, but they're fine. They're already growing on me.

Back to the dining room furniture. It belonged to Bud's maternal grandparents. Remember we went to the auction preview last week of the house that used to be theirs? This is the table that used to be in their dining room there.
