Although our builder said they were supposed to start working on the stucco and have the shingles delivered, we didn't see much of an activity at all last week. On Friday, we walked the house with our builder to locate all lights, switches and outlets.
On some other notes... B & I knew that we needed to replace our 4-year old vacuum cleaner - it was just a matter of when and how much we'd spend for a new one. B already fixed it once, and I broke it again recently (not on purpose, I swear)! Since we got this 20% off coupon from BedBathAndBeyond and a gift card, we decided to buy a Dyson. We have two big doggies, and so far, it does an outstanding job on the carpet.
We also found this very lovely fountain at a local nursery. Online retailers sell it for $700-$900 but we paid much, much less than that! It's heavyweight (weighs 165 pounds), and made of cast stone.
