5.19.12 - Sarasota Checklist

Pool Inspection
Electrical Inspection
Final House Inspection

We passed all of the inspections BUT we're still waiting for the official 'Certificate of Occupancy has been granted' phone call from the city of Sarasota as of 5pm Friday.

In the meantime, here are a few Sarasota snaps. Thanks to Sam for the bottles of Pomery - they'll be a poppin' soon!

5.14.12 - First Dinner + Maple Floor + Clean Windows

Over the weekend we unpacked more kitchen boxes and assembled new Metro shelves in the pantry. Saturday night Hilary and Jim brought a roast chicken and salad dinner over to celebrate the progress.

Today Matt Schott of FloorSRQ installed the lovely beachy maple wood flooring in the guest room and tomorrow he'll finish the studio. And Bob's window washers are slowly making the soaring glass sparkle at long last.

The pool was filled on Friday and Saturday and is gorgeous.
