Well, sort of. Our hardwoods are in and dry. Our rugs are down and our furniture is out of storage. The real work is done. See photos at the link in the previous post.
We still need to move everything back into the buffet, china cabinet, and baker's rack. And of course a few things were damaged in the move and will need to be replaced. And there are a couple of little fixes with the hardwood install.
But at least it feels like a house again. Let us know if/when you'd like to come over and see the finished results.

More remodelling
Our final (I hope) major remodel project, replacing our crapets (sic) with hardwood floors, officially started on Friday. Unofficially the project started a couple weeks before as we started emptying out the rooms so they could pull up the carpets.
After 3+ years here, our carpets are horribly (and embarrassingly) urine stained from dogs -- mainly foster dogs and guests but our dogs aren't perfect either. And if you don't clean (or notice) a stain right away, you can never get it out. So we're ripping out the carpets in our dining room, living room, and piano room and installing hardwood floors. We're also refinishing the hardwood floors in the rest of downstairs to match.
I've started a photo album on snapfish to track the progress. So far all you can see is what's been ripped up. Have to get better to get worse, right?
