lights

We finally have lights!!! It has been a long painful process, but most of the lights are now up. It is so nice to see lights it makes the house look so much more complete. There has been a lot of work done this last couple of days. The fireplace mantle was put up, most of the lights installed, electric work finalized, and the drywall people have patched all of the holes. Tomorrow the painters will come in and touch up everything. This should make everything ready for the carpet and hardwood floor guys to start. The power for the garage doors was installed and the house is now secured minus the front doors.

fireplace

This week there was a lot of work done. Outside the house the mailbox was made the yard had dirt brought in a leveled out. The air conditioning units were installed and the electric meter was installed (finally after a week, I guess they have up to three business days after the set appointment to get it done and since the appointment was Thursday that means that guy waited all the way until Tuesday). Outside is almost completely done except for the gas meter which should go in this week. (he has 7-10 days to do it and is nearing that time) The summer kitchen is waiting on the grill to come in and then it should be built. Inside the fireplace wall was covered with stone, the AC controls were installed, Alarm system installed, and the house was cleaned in preparation for the finish work. This week will start with the lighting being installed. The drywall guys to patch all holes and nicks. Then the painters will come in and stain the rails and add the second coat of paint. Once that is finished the carpet, wood floor, and appliances can go in. We are getting close to move time and we are getting super excited.


Garage side of the house where the electric meter, and 2 of 3 AC units installed.


Mailbox still needs house number block to be placed in the front. Also you can see how the have grated the yard and brought dirt in to level out.
