Last Update before Tahiti! Cabinets, flooring, and finishing touches

Last update before my wife and I leave for Tahiti for our honeymoon!
Wednesday was the fateful day... time to go to the bank to lock in rates and get the paperwork side of closing started. Who says bankers don't have a sense of humor?

While we're gone, the bank is going to do their thing and hopefully fingers crossed we'll get through it all without any issues.
Progress on the exterior; the faux stone surround is going up.

The kitchen is starting to be put together now too, and this is where we ran in to the second semi-major problem of the build. When I drew the plans, we were going to have a 10'x13' kitchen... when it was built we ended up with a 10'x12'2" kitchen. Fortunately the casualties were minor. The dishwasher swapped to the left side from the right side of the sink, the cabinet that was supposed to go over the fridge is too wide to fit and won't be installed, and the last lower cabinet needs to get swapped for a 15" instead of the 24" we bought.

With the downstairs coming together, the upstairs is also getting close to finished. Carpet is going in

The vanity and sink are at the house but not installed quite yet, still in the boxes in the bathrooms. Hoping that gets installed before we leave so we can see it... if not we'll come home to a finished house and get an early Christmas surprise!
