last week was quiet

this week was even quieter. We were bitten by the "other job" bug this week and most of our contractors were MIA. There were 2 big developments, though. The first one was the installation of the electrical meter and power hookup. It went so smoothly, I kept having to ask if they were already done. It was good thinking to have that conduit run before the street was put in, and I'm glad we had the chance. So, now the power is hot, the electricians will be back soon to give us outlets and the like.

The second big development was the completion of the sheetrock. The sheetrock posse was here on monday taping (again), tuesday brought the sanders and a final touch-up, and wed., it was texture away! It really cleaned things up and made them look finished.

Thursday brought a meeting with the painter, and he was back twice on friday. Once to shoot everything with a coat of primer, and once, quite a bit later, to do all the ceilings. Not much to show here, since it's pretty much off white on white, but hopefully, he'll be here today to start the color. He was quite surprised that there were SO many colors. (Really? Don't people paint their houses different colors?) The paint process will go quickly, though, even with the colors! The framers are SO close to being done with the siding. They could have finished yesterday if they would have STAYED PAST NOON. It was friday, after all. Monday's another day! Next week. INTERIOR PAINT!!!!!, maybe some exterior paint. PLEASE bring the garage door, attic insulation, and probably a good start on the flooring and tile. It's really looking awesome, and we can hardly wait to move in. P.S. the giant yard sale will be sept. 1st. Bring your friends and your wallet!
