House Progress

So we are now in month 3 of house building and things are still moving along quite nicely. I haven't taken any pictures this week but I promise that I will this weekend and post them. Brent and Kevin have been working hard on the electrical rough-in. The HVAC guys came out and got their part started. The plumber came yesterday and said he will be through with the plumbing rough-in today or Monday. The carpenters came back out yesterday and finished installing the windows (kind-of) and did some other cool stuff. They framed out the master shower and bathtub and they put up the framing for the kitchen island. The guy from Kitchen Vision came on Wednesday and measured for the cabinets. Hopefully I'll have some sketches and a final quote today. Brent has a week or two left to get the electric and alarm done. Then it will be time for the sheet rock. The paint lady called yesterday and will come out to give an estimate on the painting after the sheet rock is up. Once we sign for the cabinets, it will take 4-6 weeks for them to arrive. Also, the brick masons should be out any day to start bricking the house - I think that will take 3 weeks or more. We have picked out a few carpet samples but we haven't decided for sure. We have looked at some pictures of hardwoods but we haven't gone to the store to pick them out for sure yet. We also still need to get flooring for the bathrooms. The tile for the kitchen, laundry room, and hallway area should come in sometime next week. We still need to look at light fixtures and get them ordered. Anyhow...things are progressing nicely and it is looking very likely that we will be in before Christmas!!
