Jamie and Carrie's Home Building Adventures: Day 164 - Deck, Mirrors, Closet Shelving, etc...

It has been a little bit since we had an update. I was out of town this past week and life has just been very busy. We were at the house today meeting with the landscaper to discuss a plan for our yard and measure everything for a quote. We weren't able to get the refrigerator in several weeks ago when all of the appliances were delivered because we didn't have a key to the front door and it wouldn't fit through the garage. They came back today to bring it in and also deliver the pedestals for the washer and dryer. All of the mirrors were installed as well as all of the closet shelving. They were supposed to install the master shower glass this week but they had the wrong sized glass and it didn't work in our shower so they are hopefully going to get it done next week. The deck is complete, they have posts for the front porch in place, and that triangle in the front of the house finally has brick on it. They were going to do stone but we learned that they could cut the brick to a size where they could put it up like stone. We are very glad that they did that instead!

Next week, we have carpet getting installed and painting should all be done by then. Also, plumbing and electric should be done as well and final grading will happen as long as it is dry enough. We are all getting excited to be able to move into our house and we have a fairly solid date of November 22nd (1 day after my birthday). The biggest thing that we are waiting for is the new laundry room cabinets and the countertop. Patiently waiting...
