My Midwestern dream: get a deep freezer in my garage that contains a pillow sized bag of shredded cheese.

Chef Jason

Last night Jason whipped up a nice dinner for us. He just whipped it up! Grilled chicken, green beans and little red potatoes baked golden brown. Yum! Jason is always making delicious meals. He could be a chef! He may think it’s a thankless job, but I am thankful everyday for his cooking. Thank you Jason!

Speaking of food, my sister Kristin has entered into a three way agreement with some friends of hers to get a fresh bin of fruits and veggies from a local farm each week starting yesterday. As soon as she sends me a picture of her goods I’ll post it! I was looking into purchasing my own “share” of a local farm this season…but with just Jason and I, we were afraid we’d have too much food each week. We’re hoping that the petition goes through for a farmer’s market to set up shop in Cameron Station on Sundays. No word on whether that’s happening yet.

Not to mention - no word on the closing date of our new condo. We are spinning with excitement, yet, with no closing date, I feel like we’re hovering in space….just waiting for that day to be set…so we can plan our move! Once again, the general move-in time has been extended. We’re now looking at mid-August! Here’s the latest update from Cameron Station!

~~~~~BIG NEWS!! The fourth floor units are going into drywall! This is a critical component for our final permits and one of the last BIG steps towards completion.

The lobbies and corridors on the ground, first and second floors are well on their way with final paint and trim this week. We have just (today) received the hydro inspection on the sprinkler system which will now allow us to close in the remaining portions of the corridors. Carpet will be installed in the ground floor corridors over the next week. We will be sending pictures of these areas out in the next new letter. We hope you are as impressed as we are with the paint and trim selection. They are stunning!

The exterior grading in hardscape is in the final stages. The hardscape at the lobby entries will be completed this week and is looking great. The irrigation system for the courtyard and the fountain has been completed and is being tested on a timing system and should be up and running soon.

Internal Quality Inspections are underway on the 2nd floor. (That’s us!) The ground and first floors have been completed and the units are in “lock-down” mode waiting final cleaning and PSO’s.

Highlights from the preliminary walk-through with the city will be shared next week.~~~~~~
