White Paint, Golden Brown Tile, Blue Spruce, and Black Mulch
Wednesday through Sunday October 10-14
The sprint to the finish continues! The Corian countertop was installed in the kitchen on Wednesday and it's as lovely as I'd hoped. The painters finished up most of the rooms but will be back to finish the garage next week. The electrician started to install fans and light fixtures. Tile was layed in the kitchen on the backsplash - LOVE!!! The kitchen is so fabulous!
On Friday, Browns Nursery delivered all the plants for the landscaping and installed the trees and ornamental grass in the back. Fred took off on Friday and planted the remainting bushes and shrubs in the front and back. Our daughter, Grace, and her family came on Saturday to spread mulch everywhere - thank you so much guys. :) Big boulders were moved around by "Jim" of Brock's - he's my hero....well him and his heavy equipment.

Grass Seed
Monday, Tuesday October 8 and 9
The sprint toward the finish line is on while our builder continues to amaze us! Painters are painting the inside walls while outdoors gutters were installed and broken sidewalks replaced. The driveway has "apron and curb" and the closets have shelves and rods. :)
This work was done on Monday - the curb was poured and apron prepped.
Here's the fireplace painted - really pleased!
Front door with color!

Concrete Driveway
Thursday October 4
It finally stopped raining enough for our driveway to be poured! The painters accomplished a lot yesterday as well - they covered and taped for protection from the white enamel paint which they spray on the woodwork. The first coat was sprayed on all the trim boards, the fireplace mantle, crown moulding, columns, and doors. The second coat will go on today - it's lovely.
From inside the garage!

Home Stretch
October 3, 2012
Fred and I took a trip out west so had lots of catching up to do at the house when we returned.
During our absence, painters came in and sprayed on the prime coat of paint; ceilings were textured; laminate floor was put down in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms; cabinets were installed in the kitchen and baths; and tile was installed around the shower and fireplace. The finish carpenters came in to put in baseboards, trim, fireplace mantle, and many other items. Rain prevented the concrete from being poured for the driveway.
This week so far the finish carpenter completed his tasks and the painters have returned to do their job. Laminate flooring was being put down in the entry and walkway. I met with the closet guy about shelving and the landscaper about plants.
Also furnace was installed - important since it's starting to get really chilly!

Garage Doors and Painters have arrived
Wednesday through Friday September 19 to 21
The drywall finishers continued to make flawless walls for the painters to paint. They finished up on Friday. We chose the ceiling texture which will be done by a different crew - referred by all as "the boys." They may be in this week-end to texture the ceiling.
Dayton Door Sales came on Wednesday to install the garage doors and openers. They are perfect.
Garage door guys Milwaukee radio.
Last but definitely not least - the paint crew arrived to start caulking and painting outside areas.

Clean Bricks
Tuesday September 18, 2012
The drywall finishers finished taping and put on first coat of "mud." The walls and corners look fabulous - what an amazing job! They'll be back tomorrow to apply a second coat.
The brick cleaners were working most of the day and finished up around 5 late this afternoon. The house had a facial! - looks fabulous.
Cleaned south side. The brick is beautiful.

Bull nose corners
Thursday and Friday, September 13, 14
The "hangers" finished up on Wednesday and the "finishers" came in on Thursday to pretty up the drywall. They finished the area around the windows, glued on metal "corner beads" to each outside corner, and started taping the seams.
The brick layers finished the back nook, windows, and other detail areas.

A Brick Ranch
Wednesday September 12, 2012
The brick work is in the home stretch. They finished the bricked gable over the two car garage and moved around back to the kitchen nook. The nook and the window sills will be finished tomorrow while brick cleaners will be on site cleaning the bricks. I continue to be so pleased with the brick choice and the fabulous job done by the crew.
The drywall hangers finished up today - the mess they left will be cleaned up tomorrow morning and the drywall "finishers" will come in the pretty it up.
