Pictures of Progress

The HVAC upstairs did get done yesterday. The hot water heater is supposed to be vented out tomorrow. The painters finally showed up today to get started. They painted our built-ins in the family room and a couple of doors. They have a lot to do yet, but we're just glad they showed up today!

I've tried to get the carpet in the pictures, but this first one isn't very good since it's so dusty! The shelves for the built-ins are drying in the garage.



This is the fireplace in the bonus room. We're really happy with how the stone turned out. The painters didn't get to this mantle today, but it will eventually be white as well.

Sorry!

Sorry it's been so long since we've updated! I'll do my best to catch things up. No pictures right now, but we need to take some and post them. Things are moving along, slower than we'd like, but what's new? We're still living in the hotel. I'm praying this is our last week there. I think 3 weeks is plenty!

Our driveway is done, wood floors done, carpet is in, and we have steps on the front and back porches. All of our plumbing fixtures are done, toilets working, shower doors in...so what's left? The HVAC unit hasn't been completely installed upstairs, again, something left half done. Our gas water heater hasn't been vented to the outside yet. We need 3 more truck loads of dirt to be brought in so the grading can be finished. And A LOT of touch up painting needs to be done.

We desperately want to move out of the hotel and into the house by the end of the week, please pray that will happen! We miss Sadie so much! She's been staying at Pet Resorts of America, and when we call and check on her, they say she's doing great and that she's very sweet. Of course we knew that, but we miss her terribly!

We'll try to get some more pictures posted soon!

Almost There...

Sorry for such a delay in getting these pictures posted! We've been busy getting ready to move. The painting is done, with the exception of touch-ups, and all our lighting fixtures have been installed. They're just about done with the plumbing fixtures, just 2.5 toilets to go...I know, seriously, why leave after putting in 1.5 toilets?

Today our driveway is getting poured. Then if all goes well, this week our HVAC unit will be installed, wood floors done, and carpet should go in. THEN we can finally move in!

We had to move out of our condo we were renting this weekend and into a hotel. My mom and dad came down to help us move, thanks mom and dad! It's not exactly the arrangement we were hoping for, but the hotel is nice. Hopefully things will happen this week as they are supposed to, and we can move in next weekend.

Here is a few pictures of the paint and lighting fixtures. And, finally, our front door! After all our waiting, it's finally in, and correct!

We Have Countertops!

Our countertops were installed yesterday, and we love them! They look really nice with the cabinets too. Our propane tank was also installed yesterday. No pictures of that, it's not too exciting.

The painters are finally supposed to start today. They came through last week and did as much caulking as they could, so hopefully they don't have much prep work to do today. Lee says they should be done in 2 days, with two coats of paint. I'll be surprised if they're really done in two days, but I sure hope Lee is right!

Cabinets are In!

Our cabinets were installed on Tuesday. We love them. They are exactly what we wanted. Today, the measurements were taken for the granite counter tops.
To our surprise, all the bathroom sinks were delivered with the cabinets on Tuesday. This came as such a surprise to us because we never picked them out! Lucky for them, they had sent a white swirl color and we like it. It's probably what we would've picked anyway, so we thought we'll just go with it.

We finally had a drywall crew show up to work on some patch work. We're hoping they get done today or tomorrow. The grading has also been started. Hopefully today the dirt was delivered so they can finish the grading.
