We Are So Close to Completion.

Although the finishing phase does take the longest period of time, Chad and Mike have continued to make good progress and we continue to learn patience (a very good lesson indeed). The light fixtures, sinks, cabinet doors and drawers have been installed, so it's down to flooring.

The railing has kind of slowed things up, but the Hutterites did do an excellent job on the woodwork. All the peices are now there, so once it is installed and stained then the hardwood can be completed, then the carpet, grouting and we're in! We are looking forward in eager anticipation and after consultation with Chad today, we will start the move in process on February 14th (that's 2011).

The following pictures will give and indication as to where the finishing work is at:

Kitchen: The cabinets, pantry, sink, lights, etc. are done: just need backs splash and hardwood (some appliances are needed as well).

Master Bathroom: A little more tiling around the tub, back splash, grout and it's done.

Shower in Master Bathroom: Pebbles on the floor, some finishing tile on the edges, grout and it's done.

Half Bath Upstairs: All it needs is a toilet, grouting the tile and the closet doors put back on the hinges.

Front Entry: Just needs the tile to be grouted and a bench and it's done.

My favorite room in the house - the mechanical room. All systems are go. Just needs the plywood sheeting to be completed, install the central vacuum and RO system and it's complete.

Finishing Phase

The painting is complete, the interior doors are installed and now Chad and Mike are working on installing the flooring. The following picture is a sample of the tile that they installed in the laundry room.
