carpet, electrical, cleanup
Friday, April 29, 2011
The yard is supposed to be picked up today. The Parade of Homes starts this weekend and there are a few houses in Shadow Wood that are part of it - one is just 4 houses down. Suppose we don't want to bring down the neighborhood. hehe Hopefully at least one trailer is moved out of there, too. Sure will look different without trash and trailers in the front!
Thursday, April 28, 2011
Carpet was supposed to be fininshed up but the living room carpet had a flaw in it and is being returned, reordered and hopefully laid in a week. Rest of the house carpet is finished! The weather has been gorgeous out so we haven't even been to the new house to see the carpet yet. Plenty of time for that this weekend. Electricians finished completely today I guess, well except for the Christmas lights outlet that was supposed to be in the sofits outside. That accidently got covered over. Ooops!

Siding, sofits, cleaning, electrical, flooring finish work
Friday, April 15 - Friday, April 22, 2011
Electricians came back to finish a few things - lights on outside of house, lights up in master bath, etc. Also, speaking of electricity, Brady and Dad put in the baseboard heat in the basement and Brady put in the smoke detectors. We had our electrical inspection for the basement and passed (with 2 minor changes). So, the family room downstairs is DONE. Siding and sofits complete on the porch area. We started really cleaning the place - getting rid of dust. We moved over boxes and unpacked them where they go, too!

railing done, 2 sinks in...
Monday-Friday, March 14-18, 2011
Railing is done, stairs are finished, trim around stairs is in, most all materials are bought at Menards now. The correct color hinges have been replaced on the pantry door, and 2 of 3 sinks are in. We're waiting until it's all cleaned up in there so we can deep clean before the majority of the flooring is in. It's been a slow-moving, not overly productive week for whatever reason.... There is baseboard to be put down in a few rooms, a cabinet to install, closet shelving to install and CLEAN UP to be done.
