Thursday progress

Guess one of our inspections didn't go well today,

there was piping issues with one of the planters.

Will be working on that issue and

then calling for reinspection of the planter pipes

and then the planters. Still can't install planter plants till all

planters are completely inspected.

The other issue from today is that one of the subs hit a

wire in the Master Bedroom when they

were installing trim. This will be a action

item for tomorrow.

Each day brings some new, exciting issue. Counter tops instlaled in Guest room on built ins


Frosted and non frosted glass installed on roof deck. Other glass
purchased but not yet installed on bridge. Bridge clad work still

needs to be worked on but first floors need to be installed

Rugs on stairs covered but carpeted. Too many people
walking around the house/saw dust
and whatever else makes covering them a necessity.





Everything covered for more painting in Kitchen

Prep for kitchen work - covered everything up so

that they can paint a little more

More Wednesday progress

Light shaft light installed

Carpet on stairs installed today but only

on treads, not risers- that will be bamboo

Cistern installed

Dishwasher installed

Temporary sink installed- our sink is still on

back order for a couple more months

Wednesday progress.....

Still trying to hit Friday as our big date
but ran into some major issues yesterday.
No concrete or exterior painting could occur
if it was over 95 degrees. They were worried about
paint bubbling and concrete cracking. So trying to make progress
any place else though. We have to be out of our apt.
by August 8th by the latest. Mad chaos.

Installed cabinets under the sink

Cooktop installed under light shaft

Living room cleaned out for rug to be installed today



Upper trim added above tile in Kids bathroom

1/2 Hallway floors installed by Scott and his dad

More from Tuesday

Installing counter tops on entire buffet/sink area

as well as cook top section

Prep work for Driveway - getting ready to pour concrete

Added additional rocks close to house on left side to

put a buffer between cars driving

down driveway and the house.

Also widened driveway as well - too narrow before.

Tuesday Mid day

Mad chaos at the house right now to hit Friday's date.

Ran into snafu today with weather being over hundred.

Shouldn't pour cement or do exterior paint when its this hot.

Mother Nature is playing against us with our count down.

Working with team to see how this affects dates/timeline/$

Frames set up for steps to bridge
but have to wait on pouring concrete

ReMDFed wall going to power room

Side counters MDFed, sanded and if

weather permits will be covered today by Asmir.

Bamboo floors laid in Nursery- still need quarter round

but it looks great thus far. Color is perfect

Put hay in the planters on

new back splash added and mirror hung

Progress

We are pushing to do our final inspection with city

/bank/appraiser this Friday July 31st.

Its a bit chaotic. :)

Draining Field was dug, piping laid and inspected by city.

The area is a lot more cleared out then we thought it would be.

Master bath now has quarter round,

tile is grouted, mirror added, towel racks hung,

and our most recent snafu - back splash added for sink.
Left is painting is quarter round, trimming,

silicone and some other small details

So we painted trim throughout the house

and turns out the color turned mustard yellow.

Not the effect we were looking for.

So it has to be all repainted. First coat was

added yesterday and second today so

floors can begin.

Rock wall added to far end of driveway,

plants purchased and soil added to planter.

Rest of rocks for driveway

Sink installed in Wood Room-
Frosted glass installed in half bath-
no more peekaboo window :)

Scott worked on the counter

in the kitchen. This counter is on the right and

left side of the sink. Probably hard to see from the pics.

Thanks to Tim for coming over to help

put in the desk and counter tops

Another view of kitchen- ordered counter tops

and back splash materials. Figuring out sink still- we know

the one we want but its on back order for a LONG time

Back splash- this is where the cook top

Bought a light today for the light shaft.
