Granite and light fixtures, and a lot of rain.

Since most of you out there in Ryan Homes Bloggerland are likely East Coast folks, I hope you all made it through the storm and crazy winds today ok, and that your houses (in whatever state of done-ness they are) are ok, too. I ran over to our new house when the storm was over, partly to get out of the house for a little bit, and partly to make sure it was all in one piece. I had images of all the windows open, and water pouring down the stairs. But all was fine, and there were some new additions. It’s like everyday is Christmas. A really, really expensive, only-fun-for-grown-ups Christmas. Or maybe Hanukkah is a better reference, because there’s something fun arriving every night.

Today’s additions:

Our granite is in! I didn’t get a chance to choose our slab, and I’m really relieved I like this color gradation.

Dining room light fixture. It’s ok for now. I need to ask them to raise it up a few inches. That’s too low for me.

Same fixture in the foyer. How on earth am I going to change those bulbs? Really. I’m going to need about a 20′ ladder.

Porch and sidewalk poured.

Tree down on lines on the way into the neighborhood. The lights were all on, though, so I don’t know where these lines run.
