Nine weeks since the last post which has friends and relatives rightly complaining as they want to know what is happening. No excuses but a lot of distractions related to both getting this house completed and listing our current house. So we have not been pushing our contractor as much as we might, as we want to continue to show the current house furnished as long as possible. Plus we kept forgetting to take the camera when we go up to the new house, which is 40 mins away.
So a quick list of what has been happening:
All external hardscape finished including the patio area outside the slider wall and the floating steps up to the front entrance.
All cabinets installed and stained on site.
All sinks installed in kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms.
A 12' x 6' deck which webuilt, using Trex, outside the Master Bedroom.
Most of the fascia and eaves metal (in dark chocolate brown) has been installed.
Rough landscaping of the garden areas and the front and back parkways -- the latter owned by the city but which we will be landscaping with low water plantings to replace the weed-ridden grass that was there.
Examples of the custom cabinetry with its Espresso stain.
The in-hall linen closet.
A niche at the end of the hall for displaying various "objects." Also that's one of the three operable (using a remote) skylights
The living room fireplace which has a gas built-in. Note the concrete floors which be cleaned and sealed shortly.
The next two weeks will see both painters and electricians in at various times and the arrival of our garage door. This is the same "orangey" color as the porch and we had to send the first shipment back as the powder coated finish had been scratched.
