around the entry to the dining room

We now have trim work done around the new foyer area and it is looking really nice.  The crew has reused as much of the old trim that was available, which wasn't much.  They had to create several new header pieces that match with the rest of the door headers in the rest of the house.  They have done a great job.  

Nail holes aren't filled and of course, nothing is painted.  Still, it is looking more and more like a finished product.

 They have also managed to hang the actual doors to the coat closet (we reuse the original doors--we will just put new brushed nickel knobs on) and a brand new solid wood door for the bathroom.  The bathroom door hardware isn't installed yet and won't be until it is painted.

It is hoped that by the end of the week, when the crew takes a break from Christmas, we will have all the doors and drawers on the cabinets in place; all the trim work done (just Will's office needs some at this point); the walls have been sanded again (there are some rough spots); and the paint cans are at least on site.  We signed off on the counter top design on Monday, so they should be cutting it this week with a slim chance of installation.  But the big things like tile, painting, electricity, and appliance installation won't happen until after the holidays.
