The builder says it’s going to be a “mad dash to the finish.” We are hoping to move in in 5-6 weeks. I don’t know about that but I’m holding out hope. Now is when a lot of the fun decorative touches come and I’m excited about all that.
Carpentry took up all of June. Our water heater was installed. We re-did the stairs to make them look square/modern. Front and back porch ceilings put in. The breezeway was sheetrocked. The fireplace got tile.
And finally, the exterior work began.
The large tree in the front yard was removed because it was diseased.
Moving on to the interior finishing now in August… it is AWFUL to go to the house because it’s so hot and humid. I have tried an ice vest and various personal fans to no avail.
I hope to follow this post with news about paint progress – he is beginning this week but starting with the baseboards (= not very exciting). We are also getting our manufactured kitchen, living room, and master bath cabinets installed this week. That I am very excited about!
Things are shaping up nicely! Getting excited for you!
Ice vest? That’s a new one for me…
Those poor workers! Give the vest to one of them…
Your house is really coming together so nicely!! So much nice stone, in light and harmonious colors. I see why you’re not real confident in your move-in date just yet, but it’s obviously approaching and I am so happy for you. Is that a hot tub in the back yard, the round pool? I want one of those too, and should build one for myself. I would be suffering too in those temperatures. We are fortunate that in 15 years here, our warmest temperature ever was 88F. We pay for the mild summers with very cold winters, but I find that easier to take. After 11 years we need to purchase more propane, and I hope we get it done before the weather turns cold again.
