Very Close now!

Hello friends. This will be the last update because the next blog will showcase a finished house and it will then become our home. We are finishing up final documentation with iMortgage and scheduled to close Sept 13, yes FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH!!

Here is the house today. Stacey's house is in the back, mine is up front. Sorry that was funny right there. Garage doors are painted.

Trim still needs some painting.

Carpet was installed this week. Color of the carpet is very close to the wall color. We are getting colorful furniture and accessorizes to brighten everything up.

 Master bath lighting re-installed.

 Hardwood floors sanded, stained and the first coat of urethane were done this week.

 Main floor bath lighting.

 Check out how many white electrical plates are in this picture. More carpet goodness.

 The bath with all the granite issues lighting. No facet installed.

 Appliances are in! That's the "griddle in the middle" stove right there. Double gas ovens and cook top.

 Fridge won't be installed until after closing. We had to buy that costly appliance.

 Dishwasher shot. It still has some protection film on it.

And on the back deck is Stacey's fireplace

I snapped this last week. Power lines messed up my shot.

Hello all! We hit a lull in the home building process. Not much was completed the last few weeks that was blog worthy. But the last couple days we have had some activity.

More granite drama. Remember from the previous blog we had to go pick out replacement granite for the down stairs bath?
Here is the piece we picked out. See the "back wall" writing on the tape?

Here is the piece that was installed. Nope, nada, nyet, wrong answer, not the piece we picked out. Doesn't match the back splash. Granite cutters are freelancing. If we can't find the piece you picked out, you get what we pick out.

So we contacted Evelyn at Planet Granite and told her what happened. She fixed it. So out comes the granite and our granite was installed. The cutters still got it wrong. "back wall" is in the front. No biggie to me. It looks great.

Main bath mirror installed.

Master shower glass installed. The flash on my camera washes out the colors.

Here is our super mirror in the master bath. See how "warmer" the tile in the shower looks without the direct flash.

Entrance view of the rock fireplace.

Since the majority of the fireplace is outside (for outdoor use) we get the flush side.

Basement fireplace.

Exterior rock mostly installed and it just started raining.
