project 760 - day 282

After living in a perpetual state of renovation, you start to get used to the half-finished look of things.

Like light switches without covers.
Or ceilings without light fixtures.
Doors without trim.
Closets without doors.
 Walls without baseboards.
 And pictures not on walls.

Three quarters of the way through our first year in the house, things were looking a little unfinished. To motivate us to get moving again, I sent out invitations for a family dinner to be held on the third Sunday in November. These photos were taken a few days before our guests were due to arrive, and I am pleased to report that over the course of that weekend we got a number of things done. Not everything on the list above, but enough to impress our guests. (They don't need to know that Aaron was putting up the trim around the hall closet half an hour before they arrived.)
