The house is done!

The house passed inspection last week. The builder will be back to put up the bathroom mirrors once they arrive (hopefully Wednesday). Everything else is done. Wayne and I are signing completition forms today that will be filed with the county.

I'm not planning to post any more photos of the house to give everyone incentive to come see it in person.

Lights, Plumbing & Appliances

The plumber has completed all of his work. The electrician has put in all of the light fixtures in the house, but he will be back to install the lights in the garage and connect power to the shop and the septic system. All of the kitchen appliances have been installed. The builder is working on putting the knobs and pulls on the cabinets. The carpet will be installed on Monday.

Kitchen backsplash & Fireplace

The fireplace is finished and the kitchen backsplash will be finished once they do the grout.

Floor and countertops

The first photo is the kitchen cabinets. If you look closely you will notice the top drawer on the right doesn't match the other drawers. Evidentially this is what you get when you insist on having a pull-out bread board.
The flooring is installed in the bathrooms, laundry room, kitchen and dining rooms. The second photo is the laundry room, the next one is the master bathroom, then the main bathroom. I also inlcuded a photo of the tile on the fireplace. They will be back to grout the fireplace and to finish the kitchen backsplash probably tomorrow. The installers are Russian Orthodox so they are happy to work tomorrow.


The plumber will be at the house on Monday to finish his work. Our appliances were delivered this week, except the dishwasher. The tub was cracked and the store can't find
a replacement. We had our choice to go with another Frigidaire that was a step down or switch to a Bosch, so we are going with the Bosch.


The electrician will be back on Tuesday to install the lights, then the carpet will be installed on Jan. 4th.

More Cabinets

There's been great progress with the cabinets, just a few more to go. The flooring was delivered today and the appliances will be delivered tomorrow.

Cabinets

One kitchen cabinet has been installed. The builder will continue working on the cabinets on Monday. The living and dining rooms are full of cabinets.

Stain

Progress has been pretty slow this past week. The painter has been working on staining the doors and the trim. I also included a photo of the back of the house since it's been painted and the posts were finished. With all the rain we've had the "yard" has turned into a muddy mess.
