Days 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, and 57 - Deliveries, Lot Grading, Painting

Sorry for the sporadic updates!  I've had a lot going on lately.  Some very exciting yet badly timed news is that I will be traveling to Poland for work soon for 5 weeks!  It was shocking news, to say the least.  But it's also a little disappointing.  I won't get to spend any time in my new home before I leave. 

So onto the house progress.  We've made some big strides but I'm beginning to worry it wont be finished on time, at least not at the quality I expect.  There is still so much to do!

First, maybe second coat of white paint

Not sure if you can see it here, but we have a pattern ceiling :(

Our hardwoods went in this week!

We got lots of deliveries

I can't believe the number of doors we'll have LOL!

The brick is all finished

Some more rough grading - it still SUCKS!

Day 49 - Drywall Progress & Ditches

We continue to march forward on our drywall.  As you can see we're entering the tape and mudding stage.  Typically, from what I'm told.  It can take 10 days to complete drywall start to finish.  On another note, we have a large big ditch next to the house.  Best guess is they are getting ready to hook me up to the utilities and sewage at the street.

I can't wait to see this kitchen

Formal livingroom

taping and muddling is apparently a messy job - gets all over everything

I hope they plan to fix this.  I can't tell if the base is uneven or the roof :(

Ditches

Day 46 - More Drywall

Looks like they have all the sheet rock hung.  It's starting to look like a real house now! 

I counted no less than 15 bottles/cups/cans and fast food containers strewn inside the house and even more on the outside lot on my visit and photographed it for good measure.  I am quite bothered by this.  I understand that people have to eat and drink but I don't think our house is best suited to be treated like a dump.  They should either bring in a can for their trash or take it with them when they leave.  I'm embarrassed to even post the pictures that includes the trash, however there were some that couldn't be avoided.

Day 44 - Drywall Started

Our drywall was started today!  We are so excited.  It makes the house more than a shell of bones!  I've just randomly taken some pictures.  It appears that all of the ceilings are done.  As well as most of the upstairs.  I'm excited to see the finished drywall.

I hope they insulate inside the closet... it is touching the "outside"!!
