Survived the Storm

Stopped by this afternoon and there didn't seem to be any damage from Hurricane Irene.  They have put in the rebar for the garage floor so that should be poured on Monday.  They have also added the water heater and a lot of the plumbing fixtures. We also finally have some pictures of the granite they put in middle of the week.

Sidewalk and Deck

Stopped by after work and found they had poured the sidewalk out front and put in the deck in back.  We had asked for them to put the stairs on the deck right next to the sliding door but they put them more in the middle.  After seeing it though I think I like were they put them as now we can put a grill in between the stairs and the sliding door.  On the inside they had put in the vinyl and put on the, maybe, final coat of paint.

We also found out that our final walk through has been scheduled for September 20th and will close on either the 21st or 22nd.  Now we just have to get our mortgage rate locked in and we should be good to go.

Cabinets

We now have the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms.  They put in the cabinet that's supposed to go over the refrigerator to low but that is simple enough to fix.  They have also power lines from the box on the side of the house over to beside the driveway.  Added a few pictures but unfortunately it's too dark to get many good ones.

Mudding and Taping commenced

Looks like they are about half way through the mudding process and they actually arrived to continue as I was leaving the house.  Also finally took a picture of the front of the house now that we have shutters.

Drywall

Wednesday we had our pre-drywall walk through with the project manager.  It went pretty well the only issue we saw was that in three of the rooms they placed the switched electric socket right next to our data and coax connections.  They are going to have them moved to other electrical sockets in the room.

They put up the drywall yesterday and man what a difference.  When you can see through all the walls it's really hard to get a grip on the size of the rooms and they actually feel smaller, at least to me they did.  We took a lot of pictures of all the rooms, unfortunately they didn't come out that great because of the diminished light.

I made a quick stop by after work today and they were still working on mudding and taping the walls.  They also had finally put in the collars around the room plumbing vents so there are finally no more open holes in the roof, which is good as it started to rain as I drove home.  I didn't grab any pictures since they were still working but I'll probably stop by either tomorrow or Sunday to grab some.
