Day 489

Exactly nothing happened at the house last week thanks to six days of below freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, and ice. The ice was no joke. We’re talking inches of it on the roads.

We ventured out yesterday as things started to melt to check on the house. It looked lovely in the snow!

Two of the three HVAC units were installed since we were there last.

This is definitely the least attractive wall of the house with all of the utilities, but we will paint the boxes on the wall after inspection and put in some shrubs to hide the units.

Apparently we have an artist in one of the crews…

We remember to take pictures of us together approximately twice a year. This is our first one of 2021.

The floors were finished the week before last but this was our first time seeing them!

This makes me feel like moving in could become a reality!

I’m in love.

We had our first casualty…little birdy must have gotten trapped in the house. Josh escorted him to his final resting place.

A peek of the foyer floors!

And perhaps most exciting of all, we have garage door openers.

Let’s hope we make up some lost time this week and can call in for a final inspection!

Day 418

Well folks, we have drywall!

Living Room.

Hall bath. Tile guys are getting all of the floors prepped to start tiling next week!

Master bedroom.

Tile, waiting patiently to be installed. Hardwood floor installation starts Monday, too!

And…garage doors have been installed. They will be painted black to match the other exterior doors, but I am in love.

We are entering the exciting phase when all of the “pretty things” are installed over the next two months. Stay tuned for tile, cabinetry, trim, doors, countertops, appliances, hardware, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and all the other things HGTV leads you to believe can all be installed in three days.
