Finally, photos!






Here's some photos of the exterior and the kitchen cabinets that were installed yesterday. As far as flooring, they did the underlayment for the Duratile.

The Siding is Done!

Finally, siding finished yesterday, just ahead of rain. I think it's taken 8 weeks. Now I'll be able to post a photo of the house. They also did the grading of the lot, which I was afraid would have been postponed by the rain, but he got it done. It rained and poured half the day and evening, so I'm hoping that by the weekend, the weather turns nice and it will be easy to dig up plants. So this weekend, I'm either planting or painting.

They also hung alot of the ceiling fixtures. The fans in the girls' bedrooms are huge. They didn't look that big in the stores. L will not be able to have a draped 4 poster bed for certain. Woodwork is still going up and 2 doors are hung. I have to do some touch up on the painting we've done, so we may not get much more painting done this weekend. Flooring is to start Mon with the Durastone and fireplace. Kitchen cabinets were to have started yesterday, but didn't, but I imagine they'll be in by the weekend.

Lots happening and its exciting finally, after a long wait.

Drywall and painting done

Heard last night that the painting of the drywall is done. It's all done in white - alabaster. Or as the contractor kept mistakenly saying - albatross!

I have to stop out and see it this afternoon. I can start painting now, but will be out of town this weekend. With Dad sick, I don't know how much painting I'll get done. Which will all work out. Kids are still uncertain what color they want their rooms and I think once they see the carpet in, it will help them decide. So we'll see if I can get living/kitchen, master bed and bath painted.

Week #6 for siding and it's still not done. It's been muddy and rainy, so guys are working at another house instead. Today or tomorrow they are suppose to pour driveway and sidewalk and front porch. So then siding should finish. And landscape can start, if I can get ahole of the guy. And if I can buy some trees at the place that's going out of business.

Flooring's ready to order. Cabinets are ordered, but not handles. Doors ordered, but not knobs. Still have some lighting to buy. It will be so exciting to see cabinets go in and flooring. But no picutres to post. Do you really want to see empty all white rooms?
