Beware, if you have a dail-up connection at 36 Kbps, it may take 1 1/2 minutes just to begin to see the page of thumbnail photos. Of course DSL & cable will be much faster. To see a larger image, you can double click on a thumbnail, however, If you have dail-up, it may take 40 seconds to see a single larger image. You might want to do something else while the photos are downloading - get a snack &/or drink.

Not Completed:

· Install TP holder- it HAS been found & is in the Master bath

· Didn't have any gravel (window wells, dry well, pad for A/C)

· Install Vent Cover- Master bath had no cover

· Register covers- Mel said not to "install" them because they're pressure testing the house, so we unwrapped & set the covers out next to their spaces

· Clean light fixtures- we weren't sure which ones needed to be cleaned

· Basement steps have been painted but will need a 2nd coat
