Day 68

Thirteen days have past since my last post.  Since then the house was locked and it was harder to see what progress has been made.  Some of it was very visible, such as the Thomas Hardie siding getting put on!  The garage is finished and the house is 3/4 done.  For some reason the front of the house is still not finished, even though the last piece was put on the east side several days ago.

James Hardie siding, Boothbay Blue

The sheet rock is completely done, and painted with construction grade paint.  My favorite painter will be coming from Jefferson City to paint the entire house.  Our color pallet is yet to be determined, but it will have shades of sand, gray and blue in it.

The wood flooring, the ceramic flooring and the linoleum have all been laid.  It looks so nice!  The construction workers have cardboard over all of it so I was only able to snap a few pics of the floors.  The upstairs bathrooms have cabinets. 

Ceramic in master bath and closet

Linoleum in laundry room and two bathrooms upstairs

Wood floors in LR, DR, and powder room

 Downstairs the fireplace mantel and the marble have been put into place, and the bannister is in place.  The square slats are not in yet but we saw them in a wrapped package.  It will be so pretty!

Beginnings of the bannister with a lovely model behind it!

Fireplace with Newton mantle and baltic brown marble.  LOVE the marble!!

We saw some mechanical things done, boring stuff, but necessary!

Cabinets in all bathrooms and kitchen!

We have about three weeks until closing!  The next post will most likely be about our walk throughs but hopefully when the lighting gets in, I will be able to get a few preview pics!  I am getting very eager to move in and enjoy our house.
