Almost time

We were all set to move in on Monday but a small code issue with the mantel on the fireplace has moved us back a couple of days. Just in time for a could front to move in a dump snow on us. Everything is pretty much done just the final cleaning and some touch ups.

October 26th

The floors are all done but they are covered with plastic to protect them so no pics. My mom requested more pics of the news stuff. Here it is mom then back to work.

Up date October 13

They have told us we will be able to move in by November 15th. Seems like there is a lot to do between now and then. All the rock work is done now and the hardwood should be done by the end of this week. Tiles is progressing and the electrical is being done right now.

Sept. 15 beams and front door

Hi All,
The end is in site. Thanks goodness. Things are getting a little tense in the old fifth wheel. The weather has been cold and rainy not giving us much to do except sit around and get on each other nerves. The front door was installed today and it is so pretty. Unfortunately you will not get to see it fully because it is covered with plastic to protect it from the workers. The beams have all been stained as well. All the stain basically matches the kitchen cabinets as well. All the wood is Knotty Alder. The walls are not painted yet but all the trim has been painted. Painting is next and then the floors will be installed first the tile and then the hardwood.

The cabinets are in

Update August 16

sorry it has been a while since my last up date. Didn't really think much was going on with the house until I looked at the last up date. I was wrong a ton has gone on since the last update.

the siding is all done

The front entry is my favorite part. The real front door will be put in when the construction is all done.

Love the cedar paneling on the roof

Ignore the yellow it is only primer

I am going to get the mantel on Wednesday. Very excited to have the rock done and a nice timber mantel 

I will be gone dog trialing for a week and a half. Things will be so different when I get home. The kitchen is suppose to go in this week. 

Update July 4

Garage floor is poured and the doggy doors are cut in the wall.

Fireplace is installed. Not really ready to use yet.

The hardi plank is being put on. It actually looks less green in person. 

Right now everything is getting roughed in. So not much changes from day to day. The electrical and the plumbing are all roughed in. Now just waiting for the low voltage stuff to be roughed in. Meaning satellite, internet and alarm system. 

Roof and windows

The house is coming along. The roof was done last week. the windows were installed yesterday in the down pouring rain. 

The roofers started today in hopes of finishing for our next round of rain. I heard rumors from Trevor that our siding is in and they were waiting for the windows to be installed.

Plumbing is all roughed in and the electrical starts on Monday. Thankfully the house is almost closed in so all this rain won't be a problem anymore.

timbers arrived today

I know two blogs in one day. There was a lot going on today. I came home from Shopping and the timbers for the main entry had arrived and boy are they pretty.

The walls are done and the roof is coming along nicely.

Bathroom and kitchen ideas

I meant with the plumbing fixture people today. I came home with a bunch of options and I am sure a couple of thousands of dollars. I had no idea you could spend $800 on a kitchen faucet. Sorry for the bad quality pics. I forgot my camera and used my cell phone.

I really liked this tumbled slate back splash

Kitchen sink

Kyle wanted a unique sink for the master bathroom and this is what I came up with.

The picture doesn't do it justice. 

The way to a woman's happiness is a really big soaker tub.

A floor sample

Below is a sample of the flooring that I really like. It is larch wood with an antique oil finish on it. I am getting it quoted from a local flooring company I have used for a couple of our renovations on our previous house. sitting at the bottom of the sample is a little sample of the Kitchen cupboards I have picked. They will be a knotty alder with an cappuccino finish.

All ties in nicely with the Knotty Alder soiled wood door I ordered.

Progress to date

Starting to look like more like a house.
