AC's are both running now, wood floors almost ready to go in

We went over to meet with the landscape guy and discussed some things with him.  SInce the prior week, one AC unit wasn't running, which held up the floor guy, so no wood floor was installed as of Thursday evening.  A call to the AC man solved it, but we lost several days while our contractor was out of town.  Don't know if any flooring got put down Friday.  Still lots of other stuff to do as well.

Handrails and Screen Porch

Quick trip this afternoon to check on things after being gone for a while.

The yard is graded, the propane tank and sewerage tank and grinder pump are set, the mirrors are in, the master shower glass is installed, and the porch railing as and screens are up.

Still alot to do though: get power, do rough clean up, get AC going, finish hanging lights, finish ceiling above ground floor, many trim pieces to be completed, stair treads to finish, front stairs to complete, final grading outside and driveways to put in.

Hopefully tomorrow we'll have power, then AC units, then a few days later and we will have wood floors being installed.  After that, trim carpenter and on and on....  Finally we'll need the final inspections.

The front with handrails: that's alot of white!

The ceiling of the ground floor.  The color is a light blue, but you can't tell here.

Front stairs and porch handrails.  Stairs need the bottom flight and risers installed.

Screen porch,

Door hardware and trees...

quick trip today to work out details for the front stairs, and took a look at a few things.

The nice oak tree in our front yard was not looking too good, and the pine trees at the waterfront had died - both caused by adding soil around the trees.  I knew it was a risk when we filled in the land at the waterfront, but the oak tree was an unwelcome development we were not expecting.  This past week our tree guy took down the pine trees and trimmed the oak, then took topsoil off the oak and fertilized it.  He says the oak tree now has a good chance to make it - we sure hope so - its a beautiful tree.

New door hardware inside and out:
