Shawn Says...Part 18 (and a closing date!)

 "Tile was completed and trimouts are underway. Plumbing and Mechanical have been completed. Electrical will take place Monday. Inspection for all three trades will take place middle of next week. Hoping to have gas and power meters set by the end of the week. Will see."

Funny from our visit this week (sorry if you've already read this on Facebook): As I was Facetiming with our future neighbors who are currently in California, Dave and Kate stopped to talk to the people who live across the street. They have a couple little girls who seem really friendly. While they are chatting, one of the little girls says to Kate, “Oh this will be so great when you move in and we can play!” Kate with a deadpan face looked at her said, “Maybe...”

I guess Kate is just keeping her options open and didn't want the little girl to get her hopes up?!

Shawn Says...Parts 16 & 17

 Okay, okay, okay! I didn't post last week (and I heard about it from a few people) so now you get two updates in one!

March 21st:

"Painters will be completed today. Bath and kitchen top will be installed on Monday. Tile will begin on Tuesday and take the rest of the week to complete. Hoping for better weather next week to knockout driveway and sidewalk."

March 28th:

"Prime and paint have been completed. Tile for the floors and walls completed today. Backsplash tile is on schedule for Monday. Trades will begin trim outs late next week."

The beginning of a sidewalk!

I noticed the porch "columns" are painted!

We have a garage door!

"Cabinets have been installed. Trim and doors have also been installed this week. Prime and first paint started on Thursday. Paint takes five days to completed and then tile will be installed."

What an exciting visit we had today! Everything is really coming together and it's so fun to watch. Sadly, I feel like our weekly sneaky visits will be coming to an end soon as they will start locking the doors to protect the finishings.

Kitchen cabinets are in!

"Stone veneer was completed week. Drywall was completed today. Cabinets have been delivered and will be installed Monday. Trim and interior doors will be installed on Tuesday/Wednesday. Prime and first paint will start on Thursday." 

It was another productive week of work on the house. It's really starting to come together and feel like a real house. We are excited to see the updates coming up, too. Hopefully, we will get our official closing date soon!

We love the stonework!
