Tried to get a better shot of the cork flooring, a little hard considering most of it is presently covered in cardboard.

The new house is moving along quite nicely, they tell us posession should be by the end of February! As of yesterday the entire house now has a coat of primer, the ceilings are stipled and cabinets are in. Here are some photos of what it currently looks like

We have been working hard on completing the basement and are almost done. The paint touch-ups are now complete and this week almost all the doors were installed!!! Just waiting for the french doors to be ready hopefully within the next week. We are now busy cutting, painting and installing trim. All that will remain to be done after that will be the dropped ceiling!!! Within the next few weeks we should have some photos to post on here…..

October 16th

We are getting closer to being finished, a few more pieces of trim to put up, a few doors to paint and hopefully the french doors go in within the next few days. After that we will need to work on the ceiling. Here are a few pictures I took today after I cleaned up a bit down there.

As of October 6th the siding is now complete and they have also finished installing the insulation. The next steps are to drywall and get the concrete floor poured in the basement so they can frame it, insulate it and drywall it as well. Stay tuned for more photos….

Here are some pictures of the house with siding….

All windows and exterior doors were installed over the weekend (we saw them putting some in yesterday). The rough-in for the plumbing looks like it is complete as well! And now they have delivered the roofing shingles so it looks like that will be done soon too.

We took a drive past the new house again today. The second floor has now been framed and part of the roof has been done.

Here I am inspecting the future kitchen/ living/ dining area…

John looking out the future patio doors leading out from the dining area.
I think he is plotting the landscaping of the back yard already…..

The second floor is quite a mess to walk through at this time as they still have more lumber on the floor that needs to be used to complete the roof.
