The Beginning of the End

Week 29: We can feel the end is near. This week we had good progress in getting the trim done. Joe has completed all but the trim in the kitchen area. He also got the guest bathroom vanity installed. The painters have arrived and are finishing up the trim work upstairs and should begin on the walls this upcoming week. The HVAC guys came in and installed the AC and Humidifier with the thermostat. The big change was the arrival of the landscapers. We were worried we would not get in the sod before the end of the season due to the rain and cold. We did have more rain which put us behind a few days, but they did get the sod down and it looks great. Anne will have the rest of the winter to start planning the new landscaping for next year. They also added a small retaining wall to help direct the path of the waters. Ralph was back and has just about finished the foyer tiling. We are awaiting the last piece of the floor lights and then he can finish the floor. He finished up the master bath so it is now ready for the shower doors, which were re-measured on Monday and are on order. So next week it is more painting, the kitchen vent hood will be installed and hopefully the rest of the kitchen will come together. The gutters and downspouts will also be installed.

The front ready to go.








More sod. Looks endless.








The front yard after. There are a couple spots that have the old Maple tree trunks so they will have to remove the stumps and finish the sod on Monday.
