Ooooh...shiny!

We recently realized that our 2 year old cookware, while it is stainless steel, is not magnetic, and therefore will not work on our new induction range. We have been scrambling the past few weeks, trying to find a good deal on All-Clad, a brand of stainless cookware guaranteed to work with induction. In the process, we learned that All-Clad is manufactured right here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. This morning we got up bright and early and drove to the Washington Fairgrounds for the annual All-Clad factory clearance sale. We managed to put together what we needed for less than usual, and before it got too crowded! This roasting pan was not on the list, but something I've wanted for quite a while.





The crew was nearly done putting in our shiny new oak flooring by the time I arrived this afternoon.


Our handyman/all-around-good-guy found this box blade for the tractor. JP has been shopping around for one since we got the tractor. This will be used to keep the driveway smoothed out, and to smooth off all the ground before we plant grass.



New tile in our Laundry nook


I also managed to get 2 coats of sealer on the cork flooring in the Library, and take a walk in the woods with the girls. The girls managed to rearrange everything in the van.

One Month To Go!

We have been promised the keys to our new house in 4 weeks from tomorrow. The builder has been ill this week, but some of the crew were out today working on the siding. They put soffit under the eaves of the prow, and have the upstairs set of french doors in.

The dry wall finishers are moving right along. The walls look nice and smooth and ready for some paint!

The Oak flooring has arrived and looks beautiful!


New week things should really start looking great! I can't wait!
