Wow our house has a new name! Thanks Todd, So much nicer than the Adams Family House.
Our house has new speakers in the family room, new alarm system, and new drywall in the needed spaces. New carpet in the master bedroom and according to rumor, clean carpets throughout! We found out that the master bedroom didn't have hot water and lo and behold, our private master bath water heater wasn't working. We didn't even know we had one and now we have a new one of those. When we left last week, our front door had been stripped and was getting a beautiful new finish and the front yard was getting new landscaping. 
Last week our landscaping advisor and friend, Kevin Davis, brought his concrete and pool designer pro, Emmett, over and we found out the patio should be replaced. In came the "demo" team and the patio is now gone and forms are laid for a new one. Just that fast! We won't even talk about how expensive.
Meantime on the other homefront, Florence (Sis) and Larry are here from South Dakota. Newly retired, they are here practicing to be snowbirds. We are soooooo glad to have them! They've filled their truck with boxes and odds and ends, made numerous trips moving stuff and taken care of meeting with various contractors for us. They can come and visit anytime! Next time they visit we won't work them so hard. And we did invite them to join us in Hawaii!)
This week, we will have the television installed and some furniture delivered. Scott, our handyman, and his crew should be finished up with the odds and ends. Landscape, hopefully, is progressing in our absence and concrete should be poured after we get home. Wednesday we need to go back to work, but plan on packing most of Thursday and movers arrive on Friday. Friday night, we will be home sweet home at Hootieville Estate!
Glad to hear Hawaii is exciting...sounds like you've been busy with tourist stuff. or maybe just working from a remote location instead of vacationing in a remote location.
