The house passed the plumbing, electrical and framing inspection

The house passed the plumbing, electrical and framing inspection so now we move on to insulation, drywall, brick and stone. Over the past two weekends I have set 4 external doors and the interior doors in the garage so that the walls that need to be insulated have all the doors. The only place this is not true in the patio sliding door for the deck. That door should arrive this week and I may be able to get is set before the insulation guys are done. All of the outside soffit and trim work is done and all of the interior framing is completed.

 

Cindy and I have the plans for the cabinets and for the most part have picked the tile for everywhere. We also ordered a 36 inch round tile medallion compass rose that will go in the entry foyer. Since our 8th anniversary is coming up and one of the gifts for number 8 is pottery, we decided that this medallion was sort of like pottery and it could be our 8th anniversary present to each other. Attached is a picture of the design but we changed the colors of the other half of the 8 center points to be black (like is show and a gold travertine instead of the light travertine shown.

The brick and stone were delivered yesterday and that should start going up in the next few days and the drywall should be delivered today or tomorrow and that will start by next week. So things are moving forward quickly again.

 

Cheers, Steve
