Getting Closer

Took a visit up to the house and things are progressing.  We did not get many pictures because we were too busy staring and touching things.  At the next visit, there will be more pictures!

What's happened:

On the outside...

• Siding and stone are done 
• Shutters are up 
• Lights on the outside of the garage are in 
• Outlet on the front porch is installed

Still need the porch completed, grading of the front yard, shutters on the remaining windows, grading of the side and back yard, deck, painting the front door red, driveway and sidewalk.

On the inside....

• Cabinets are up in all of the bathrooms
• Cabinets are done in the kitchen
• Counters are done in the kitchen (most of the counters)
• Interior lights (and I don't have to change the one in the dining room because I actually like it!)
• Cable TV lines
• Stone fireplace
• Crown molding in the living room, dining room, entry way and upstairs hall (we didn't know we were getting it upstairs so that was a pleasant surprise)

Still need all of the flooring, toilets, finished 1st floor shower, finish fixtures in all bathrooms, granite on the kitchen island, appliances, completion of the laundry room, staining the banisters and stairs, closet clothes racks, paint, outlet covers/switch plates and cleaning. 

Here is the stone fireplace.  I am sure Chino will spend much of his time sitting on the hearth

Dining room molding is in.. too bad we didn't take a picture of the chandelier 

Railing with wrought iron balusters.  I love love love these!

The kitchen 

Peek at the kitchen counters.  So happy they are not peach.  This granite can either be brown tones or peach.  Of course this is just a peek.  The rest is under plastic being protected since work is still occurring.  Fingers crossed that there is no peach.. if so it's Rob's fault for picking them and he will be in big trouble

Master bath tub.  Must cover that window so there are no surprises for the neighbors. 

Master shower with seat 

Bathroom light fixture.  This is in each bathroom but size changes depending on the bathroom

First floor bath.  This is the one that was a powder room that we converted to add a shower and shower seat 

Here is the arch.   On the other side is the first floor bathroom and first floor bedroom

I am sure there are still things that need to be done that aren't listed.  We will be going back inside in about a week and a half and then the final walk through will be on 1/31/14.  We will have the inspector come back in and do a walk through just in case.  Settlement is currently scheduled for 2/10/14.  We shall see if that date changes or not.

I guess we need to get serious about packing!
