Friday's Progress
The window casing is almost done now, as you can see in the picture of the dining room and the baby's room. Also note the expert craftsmanship of how the ceiling speakers were put in for the kitchen and dining room, that was me.
The fireplace base was applied to prepare it for the stone. The stone guy dropped off his equipment in the front yard today, so he should get to work on Tuesday.

Thursday
The trim and casing is almost done now, except for a few windows. The bathtub is now done except for paint and stain. The siding is finished except for the front of the house on the porch, and on the left side of the garage. I finished putting in the ceiling speakers this evening. The air conditioner was delivered today.

Laundry Room and Bathroom Cabinets
The cabinets for the master and upstairs bathrooms were put in today, along with the cabinets in the laundry room. A few more pieces of trim were put in. The base for the fireplace hearthstone was built, along with the base for the mantle. I got the ceiling speakers up in the dining room this evening.

Kitchen Cabinets, Painted Trim, Plumbing
The kitchen cabinets are all but finished. I'm guessing the countertop people will be in next. The painters came in and whitewashed the trim in the master bedroom. The plumber put in the exterior spigots, the water lines to the garage, the kitchen, and installed the water heater. The siding guy finished the second story of the front of the house. I installed speakers in the master bedroom ceiling tonight.

Kitchen Cabinets and Garage Doors
I had to use the cell phone camera today because our camera is being borrowed for a couple days. The garage doors were both put in today. The siding guy made his way across the front of the garage as well, and only has the front of the house to finish tomorrow.
The kitchen cabinets arrived today and were partially installed.

Plumbing fixtures
Waters plumbing dropped off all of the plumbing fixtures today. The tub deck was built today as well. I think that the cabinets are supposed to start coming in today. The painter was there yesterday evening when I stopped in, and he said he was planning today's work which I think is painting the trim in the master bedroom and bathroom.

Wednesday
We met with Brett (the builder) today at the house to talk through some of the last decisions (fireplace, front door, bathtub, etc.). He gave us a finish date of June 10th, This is about 5-6 days later than expected because we are getting the countertops from a different supplier than the cabinet company (much less expensive that way). Anyway once the cabinets are set, the countertop people have to come measure, and then go get to work. Then once they are done, then the cabinet people come back to set the top cabinets.
Cabinets should start coming in on Friday. The garage door will either be in on Friday or early next week.

Tuesday
Very slow day today. Nothing much happened except for a few door casings were put up and a few more feet of siding was installed.
Hopefully the pace picks up this week!
