More lights, and appliances

We made a quick trip to deliver more electrical stuff and see the progress.  More light fixtures and appliances have been installed and some tile work on master shower and tub.  Also, had to drive to Picayune to pick new granite for the island since the stone yard sold what was supposed to be for us.  Now counter installation is delayed until May 6th.

Master tub and shower, still needs a little work...

Exterior lights by the front door...

Maggie finally has her double oven!

and a fancy fridge.

Lights, Cabinets, Action!

Well, now we're seeing some good progress.  Tile floors are coming along, cabinets are in, lighting fixtures are going up.  We visited late Monday, ( Happy B-day, Mom!), to deliver the light fixtures that we had purchased, and got to get a good look-see.  We really like it alot!

Propane lines were to be installed today, then spray-foam under the house tomorrow, while tile floors continue, and then the master shower will get tiled..  We're told that counters should go in next Monday, 4/29.

Flooring has begun...

Finally, after weeks of waiting for the tile guy, we now have some flooring started.  Hopefully the cabinet guy will begin installing cabinets next week, and then the tile guy will finish.

Kitchen and dining area, with brick pavers.  They take old, salvaged bricks, and slice them into thin sections, to be laid as pavers.

Same brick pavers, in the master bathroom.

We also have the top section of exterior front stairs.  From the landing up to the house are permanent, but from the landing down is temporary, until we get the yard filled and graded.  The lower section of stairs will not be in front like the temp section.  There will be two lower sections, one going left and one going right.

More color, but no floors yet... ( grrrr)

As of 3-29, some more interior color, but no progress on floors.  The exterior stairs have been started.

Flooring should start this week, ( 4-4?) ( fingers crossed).

Master bedroom color...

Posts for stair landing are in the ground.

Interior Color and exterior arches

A few new views that our contractor sent us today.

A few new things, but not alot...

We had hoped to see some color on the walls, but sadly it was just white primer every where.  More color outside since the siding is finished, but the arches are not covered yet.

Good news is that columns were installed on the porch, and most interior doors are up.  Trim carpenter is complete, except for the few doors not hung, ( probably due to wrong door size being delivered).

Next steps should be interior paint, tile and brick floors, then cabinets and countertops, then plumbing and lighting fixtures, and somewhere the wood floors.

Other stuff, in parallel: Cover the arches with white material to dress them up, handrails, front stairs, plumbing/sewer hook ups, AC units and generator, electrical hook-up, final insulation under the house and close in that space.

More siding, and some interior trim

I made a Friday trip to check progress in last 2 weeks, do some yard work to clean out overgrown brush, and maybe a little fishing.

Some progress has been made, but not as much as we'd like.  The trim carpenter trimmed the upstairs windows incorrectly, and then had to tear it out to start over.  The downstairs windows are trimmed, and the crown molding is in.  He was starting on closets when I was there.  Interior doors are due next week, so he can then install those and then do baseboards.
