So this is interesting...

My father just called. Today's updates?

Fireplace is finished, surround is finished, and fireplace is WORKING!
A toilet was installed!
They were working on the sink!
The backsplash wall was patched!
The gas plumbers were still there, finishing the stove installation!

I talked to Metro this morning, and the missing handles will be here this week, and the island will be done as soon as the gas for the stove is hooked up.

and the biggest news of all

THE DUMPSTER IS GONE.

It's interesting what Mass General Law, Section 93A can do.

Maybe we'll be in Vegas afterall.

Let's not get our hopes up though, they still have plenty of opportunity to screw everything up.
