carpet, electrical, cleanup

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!

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!
