Cabinets are in, painting staining and finishing going on,

A lot has happend.  Cabinets are in, some couter tops too.  Paint is up, handrails started.  I like it.

Siding is up, well on the neighbors.  We will have a full sone front.

I like the cherry stain my wife picked out.  I think it will all come together nicely.

Kitchen cabinets

We have inside doors.



Nope, no toilet yet.  The standard sink in the other bathrooms.  One piece.

Im glad we went with the granite in the master bathroom and the kitchen.  I was lees inpressed with the standard stuff. 

 What is nice is the trail being built.  It goes behind our place and loops around in the ravine.  Worth a walk for sure.  I liked it.


The trail

Ohhh a bridge on the trail

 OOPS,  a broken window.  I guess that gets replaced.

The drywall is up.19 SEP 2012

So the appraisal has been done, and that all is fine, except the house is not finished yet.  It says that as long as the work get's completed according to the plans and P/S contract.  I guess he will come back and look to be be sure.  Rate are looking good and we can lock in the interest rate on a 60 day lock, but I think I may wait.  Rates seem stable right now.

So I will play phot catch up real quick.

Pre Drywall inspection

The PM was very good at answering my question, explaining what has taken plcae so far, and upcoming stuff.  I only had 1 thing I wanted moved, we will see if he can accomdate.  It is just an outlet in the utility space.

Like inspections next week, to include an Energy Star, to get certified.  The basically close off the house and the ventalation, pump air, and see how muck it leaks.  If it it not so leaky- inspection passes.

Also the electrical inspection will happen.  Then Drywall.  Following week will be finishing woodwork - floors handrails etc.  The other stuff, and more stuff, then ouside stuff, until projected doneness of @ 10 Novenber-ish.  Closing a couple days after that.  So we are really close to being able to do a 60 day rate lock.  we will see. 

So here is pictures, and pictures... enjoy and let me know if anything seems out of place.  I will caption them as I get time.
