Ten Long Months

It has been ten very long months since we broke ground on our new house. It has definitely been a challenging project. Fortunately, the finish line is in sight! June 14th, 2014 is the official move-in date, and Linus can hardly contain the excitement

There are still quite a few things left to do over the next week (and we've had a few more "hiccups" along the way), but I think we're on pace to make it! The finish plumbing is finished except for the washing machine (more on that later). The interior electric is almost done. Brian has some stair lighting to install & is waiting for the final mirror dimensions to install the bathroom fixtures. He has out at the house today working. The painters have a 2nd coat to put on the main stairway & some touch-up work to do, and they'll be finished. Dave came and finished the tile backsplash for the kitchen. Tom has the staircase finished & is finishing up the railing along the mudroom loft. Al almost has the front porch finished & will be starting on the back deck shortly. The siding guys were working on the soffit for the front porch this week and have the rear sun room to finish. The concrete/stone work is also nearing completion. They poured the slab & walkway in front of the house this week and are working on the front porch pillars.

Concrete Slab & Front Walkway

Kitchen- Tile Back Splash & School House Lights

Dave Gessel came back this week and finished up the tile back splash in the kitchen. It looks awesome with the school house lights!

Look close, the outlet on the left has built-in USB ports to charge cell phones!

Stairway to Heaven

The railings for the basement & main floors are finished!

Front Porch

Mudroom Loft

Tom has been working on the loft in the mud room. We initially wanted to do stainless steel cables for the railing, but the cost was astronomical! We ended up using tempered glass for the railing, and it is looking great!

Lighting & Electrical

Brian has the exterior lighting finished. The interior work is almost done. There are a few outlets & the bathroom vanity lights that need to be finished yet.
