Shawn is in Colorado and I'm holding my own with the subcontractors.
We are at a point where I can actually MAKE A FINAL PROJECT PUNCHLIST.
That is less than 23 items left to complete...
depending on how picky I am, that is...

quick non picture update
No photos.
How boring.
Kitchen cabinets are being finished today.
Upstairs doors don't fit right and are being retro-fitted today.
Downstairs doors are done.
Trim is started....... lots of windows to trim though.
STILL waiting for the hard surface flooring to be completed.
As of today, the flooring guy has been there doing hard surface for 25 days.
Note to self: they do a good job but they are sssssssslllllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwwww.

Progress Progress Progress
It's so fun to see some color on the walls!
This is a photo (kind of) before in the laundry room. I didn't take it completely BEFORE. :)
And then this is after.... Waterbury Cream - the photo doesn't show it completely, but you get the idea.
This photo is of the master bath. It's the best angle I could get to show the color. Again, doesn't show up the greatest, but it's blue.
This photo shows the master bath from a distance and the color of the master bedroom. It's beige. The beige color is the majority of the rest of the house as well.
The colors don't seem that dramatic from this perspective. But, compared to the stark whiteness of the primed walls below,
they are ver
y different.

September 20
Moving right along...
The drywallers and finished mudding and taping. We are now waiting for the texture truck to show up and spray texture. Hopefully Thursday this week.
The outside work is nearing completion. We dumped MORE dirt on the lot today. Good grief. Dirt is expensive. Who would have thought? The landscaper will be there this week to dig it all up and seed. Our goal is to have grass by next spring. But our track record with grass is not good at all. So, I will say a prayer that we're doing all the right things to make that happen. It's a good chance it will, if the morning glory that is growing all over the place doesn't first take over and win the race.
The mason finished the concrete work this week. I now have a front step and a pad off the back of the garage. whoooo hoooo.
The painter is painting the trim WHITE right now and the island cabinets BLACK. I am super excited about that! When the drywall is textured, he will start painting.
I lined up the tiler for next Wednesday.... I think that's pushing the envelope a little since the texture truck isn't there yet, but I'm having a little faith that it might happen! :)
Given the number of cabinets the guys unloaded the other day, I am pretty sure the amount of time I estimated to trim is going to be WAY OFF.
That's all for now... I'll be posting lots of pictures in the next few weeks as we near the home stretch!
