Number of Trades People

Since the beginning of this house project we have not seen so many trades people accessing the house as these last few days!  Hopefully they are not cutting corners to finish the project.  We will see what the house inspector says on Fri.

Cabinets & Tile Going In

The cabinets are in and they are working on the bathroom tiles.  Cabinet wood is very complimentary with the house color and tile!  You don't know until you see them in your house.  The granite counter folks should be calling any day for us to see how they are going to cut the slabs of granite.

House

Wow, things are CLOSING IN fast!  It's just a hop, skip & jump to 16 Nov!  

Painting the Interior

They are roofing and painting the interior!  What excitement.

Roof

They are working on the roof today.  For the past few days there's always someone about so I can't see what progress they're making on the inside, but on the outside we see that the house is painted and the roof tiles are being worked on.

House Color

House Color is gorgeous!  The shutter gray matches the gray of the house.  I've seen a lot of the gray shutters on beige or other colored homes and they don't look good at all.

For many years when someone asked what color my house was, I always said gray...  Funny, because I never lived in a gray house.  My very first house was white.  My 2d house was sort of brown.  My 3d house was yellow.  My 4th house was white with a hint of black.  My 5th house was multicolored townhouse.  None were gray!

Our new home has shades of gray with white trimmings.  Quiet yet stands out.  The plants will act as accents to the house!

Lately...

Lately every time we go to the new house there are lots and lots of activity!  I take a picture or two of the outside, but can't walk around the inside to see what's been happening.

I know that the walls and ceilings have been completed.  They were supposed to be doing the millwork.  It is rather fascinating to watch our own home being built from ground zero.
