Our contractor, Joel, calls our  Pine Street house the "House of Good News".  By this he means that the our renovation project has not hit the big bumps and problems that can typically slow down a project on such an old house (1901 construction).   As we get closer to our move in date of October, we are seeing the house come together.  With most of the structural and mechanical elements in place, we are moving into all of the fun topical stuff--walnut floors in the kitchen and family room are being installed, the bathrooms are being prepped for tile, the bedrooms have been primed, counter top material has been chosen, cabinetry design is nearly complete, etc.   All the wood trim throughout the house is now being treated to a thorough cleaning and re-staining.  It is a laborious job, but proof that almost anything can be fixed and brought back to life with the right equipment and skill.
