So what has been going on lately (besides getting a roof)? We finalized all of our floor tile and countertops. It was a little daunting, and took multiple trips and many hours...but once we got rolling we got it all picked out and are pretty happy.
Funny how little things can trip you up. For example, picking the exterior stain for our deck railing and screen porch posts. Ugh. Trying to find something that went with both our shakes and our decking was a pain and required several trips to the paint and stain store. Funny how picking all the appliances in the house took about an hour, and a stain color can take several days.
We will be doing the electrical walk-through next Wednesday. Of course this has me all wound up because I want to make sure all the Audio/Video wiring is exactly what I want, with spare runs and conduits for future access. At about the same time the plumbing and HVAC will be going on. Oh yeah I probably should get a security company out there to make sure I shouldn't do some hard wiring prior to sheetrocking.
Sometimes I wonder if parking the double-wide on the property and calling it good would have been a better choice...
...but on to the pictures. These basically show the progress on the roof trusses and shingling. Like I said, the most recent of these are from this past weekend (9/4), so I'm sure its a lot further along now...especially since our builder likes to work on Saturdays and holidays to stay on track (gotta love that!)
