The last couple of weeks have been very busy with the new house.
- Early last week the brick work on the outside was finally finished.
- Then they moved inside and finished the fireplace rocks and placed the mantle.
- Next the cabinets were delivered and installed.
- Next the finish carpenters arrived and installed all the interior doors and trimmed them out.
- Baseboards were installed.
- Monday work was begun on the closet shelving and little extras inside there.
- Yesterday they trimmed out all the windows and did the window sills.
- Today they were installing the crown molding.
- The painters came yesterday and began the caulking and prepwork before painting begins. This will take longer than we expected. Probably the rest of this week.
- We met with the painter this morning and told him the colors we want and he will bring us some cabinet stain samples later this week. He says that on a house this size their part of the job will take about 3 weeks.
The cabinet maker came on Saturday and delivered and installed the corbels to hold the island counter top. I really like them, not too foo-foo, not too plain.
So, we're getting to the end things of the house. It's coming together quickly. We'll probably be in the house in about 5-6 weeks! Hallelujah!
