Paint, Floors and Cabinets

The painters have finished up at the house and they installed the floors and cabinets yesterday. They also poured the rest of the driveway and the sidewalk and steps leading up to the house.

Making Progress: Baseboards and Shelves

Been making a lot of progress on the house lately. We have.. 

Texture on the ceilings

 Doors

Walls prepped for paint

Door casing and baseboards

Closet shelves

Crown molding in the master!

Driveway, most of it anyway

Stair rails, balusters coming soon

Vandals

So two weeks ago today we got some bad news about the house, vandals broke in and did some significant damage. They...

Poured sheetrock mud into the
furnace basically destroying it

They ripped into the sheetrock around
the plumbing and disconnected it, while
also covering it in sheetrock mud

They threw a lot of the mud around
the house, a lot of it wound up on the
doors and windows

They ripped down the sheeting covering
the insulation in the basement

And they dumped stucco cement in
the master tub, destroying it as well

Not pictured is the fact that they also dumped sheetrock mud down a lot of the plumbing drains. Fortunately, insurance will cover everything, but it also pushes our timeline back. 

We have a garage door!

There has been some significant progress on the exterior of the house over the last two days. Namely the stucco has color and we have a garage door!

Notice the nice trim color around the windows, doors and arches.

They have also mostly finished mudding and taping the drywall.

Our House: 6 weeks to go!

The house is still coming along. Not so many noticeable things on the exterior, but more on the interior now. Though we do have the garage door installed!

They have been busy putting up the drywall and mudding and taping it. Here are a few pics from the last few days...

The kids love dancing in all the empty space.

waiting on the other stucco coats and the
rain gutters and the outside is done.
