Long Time!

Been a while since I wrote anything, and I wanted to make some notes to catch up. The house is now totaly enclosed, the indoor framing was done, the sheetrocking done, the interior doors hung, the taping and spackling done, a first coat of primer done. The hardwood floors are in (but will not be sanded and stained until near the end).

We are now picking out the electrical fixtures - lights, ceiling fans, outdoor lights, etc. Electrician is coming this Tuesday to install all of these. He will come back once more at end to finish up things like the kitchen connections.

I spoke to builder today, and expressed my frustration on how things are progressing - he said they are getting things done - scheduling is always a problem. We will meet Sunday to walk through house. I will hopefully get over there today to look at the inside and make a list of issues. We are actually having rain for the 8th straight day today, so the house is getting a test of how well sealed up it is. The basement leaked, the chimney leaked and (possibly) the laundry room leaked. I let him know all of this, and he assured me they would take care of it.

Still to be done:
- order kitchen cabinets
- order countertops - kicthen and all bathrooms
- buy remaining lighting fixtures
- electrician install lights
- get tiles in-stock or re-order
- get tiles installed
- get kitchen cainets installed
- get countertops installed
- get kitchen plumbing done
- order appliances
- get appliances installed
- finish painting
- floors sanded and stained
- backdoor deck done
-
