Hardwood final finish and other updates

We haven't been in the house today or yesterday because they are finishing the (hopefully) final coat on the hardwood. They works for days sanding out the scratches caused from the original edger. My main concern now ifs that the areas don't appear to blend but they all say that it will when it cures over a couple weeks. Let's hope so. Refinishing the floors once we move in will be a disaster. It's been kind of a nice break to be away-- it gets quite stressful as things are broken lost, or just wrong.

Kinsley's room is all painted with her tree, horse, picket fence on the wall, etc. It looks great.

I've met with several landscapers and have several more to go. It's a lot of area to landscape ($$$).

I was about to buy a new Monogram freezer (due to the other being bent and therefore not repairable). As you'll recall I got a great deal on it- $1600 for a $4,000 freezer, so I was bummed to have to return it and buy a new one, but was resigned to the "get what you pay for" fact. Then today I get a call from Ge following up on my service call. I called them back and they said they would send out and install a brand new Monogram Freezer for just $1000. Thus my $1600 + $1000 is still a lot less than the price of a new one (and I'm getting a new one). It;s still a pain to have to un install it, but it worked out okay.
