We have been making progress; just not documenting it here.
We have a telephone at the house now, the number is 802-22x-xxxx. Did any of you think billn would acutally post his home number on the web? Then everybody would call during our dinner hour and disturb us.
The laundry room is primed. We paint it today. The kitchen ceiling has the first coat of joint compound. Some minor electrical parts are in (like the 3-way switches for the basement lights, some temporary lights in the hall and on the stairs). The lawn is cut (it has been terrible weather for grass growing, lots of rain and sun, terrible in that it grows fast and strong, taking valuable time and energy to mow).
The current goal for a 100% kitchen is Sunday June 24, 2007. There are reasons for this date and we hope to make it. The only piece that may be missing by then is the countertops, but that is out of our control (made by others). The Corian order is back, gas is $2.93 a gallon.
We do not have a real date yet for our DSL connection to the house, so we continue to be unable to share with you our progress. Soon the pliers will be back!
Remember, I want ideas or actual items for sealing up in our walls as a time capsule. Time is running out.

billn, thanks for the new switch for the basement light. Oh yeah, my elbow thanks you too.
how about a family photo for your time capsule. Of course no names.
that's a great idea of family photo - and actually, also just your blog stuff. i'll touch base with billn if there is still time to send something(s).
Seal up the red pliers, billn's sideburns, and of that fancy pex tubing. Maybe a bottle of organic VT wine? A CD with news articles? A pouch of anthrax?

A pouch of anthrax? Only the chairman of the bak of yasko would think of that. Please don't send any. You can spend some time and pick out new articles from your dirty liberal newspapers where you live and send it; it can go into the garage ceiling.
The pliers can't go in, they are like a family member.
Family photo is a nice idea.
Can we do the family photo 'American Gothic'style?
Also maybe we could petrify some of our CSA goods....
