The water softener was installed early in the week. We wanted it in before any fixtures and appliances get installed. Since we have high iron, manganese, and hardness we opted for a "green sand" filter for the iron and manganese and a conventional salt softener for the hardness. 

The paint prep has been ongoing this week with all of the trim getting puitty and sanded, and the front two rooms are mostly prepped for paint. First the primer coat goes on then the ceiling and walls. 

The snow has delayed progress on the outside for now.
