House Update

Losing Daylight Savings Time has made it really difficult to see the house during the week. It's almost completely dark by 5 pm and if I drive over there around 5 trying to catch the last bit of daylight, the workers are still there.

Tonight we stopped by around 6:30 pm with flashlights to see what we could see.

Our garage doors have been installed ...


All the bathrooms and the laundry room had been tiled ...


Bathroom counter tops had been installed ...


The shower in the guest bathroom had been installed but we couldn't see in the other two full baths because doors were closed and we couldn't open them because of either tape across the doorway or tile that hadn't set yet.

We went by on Sunday a couple of times to see what had been done last week. The first time we were there, the painters were there. But later in the afternoon, we were able to get into the house.

All the interior painting had been completed. I like the color we chose for the walls. It looks really similar to the color we picked for our last house.


The roll-outs in the base kitchen cabinets had been moved up. They left the half shelves in the cabinets and mounted the roll-outs above them. They removed the roll-outs from the bottom of the cabinets so there are holes now in them. Hopefully they come back through and fill in the holes so they look a little better.


Our front porch now has a ceiling, columns, and steps ...


The crawlspace got lined with plastic and all the piping was insulated ...


And we got gutters and downspouts installed ...


Brian had a voicemail from the builder today updating him on the schedule. The tile, showers, and countertops (including the granite in the kitchen) should be completed tomorrow. The HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trim will be installed on Thursday and Friday. And the first coat on the hardwood floors should be applied on Monday.
