We now have new electrical panel (with 200 amps), ductwork without asbetos, our floor is gone and ready for hardwood, we wired cables through some of the ceiling, and almost have our paint colors finished.
As for paint, we're still searching for the perfect tan for the living room. We've found burnt almond in Behr paint which isn't horrible, but I think it's a little too dark. So we're going to try one more color (Gobi desert) and then see.

We actually have loquats and we'll see whether or not Gene and I are a fan of them. We'll definitely have quite a few.
Gene and I have also ordered our washer and dryer (Whirlpool Duet) and have to pick up our wood flooring from Lumber Liquidators on Saturday. We're excited that we can get in there then and start working. The contractor plans on finishing on Saturday. Then all the work becomes ours!
Em and Gene,
