Drywall and interior work continues

Wednesday, more of the drywall was finished




And Amerigas placed the propane tank


Since Wednesday, all of the drywall has been taped, smoothed, and textured.  Today we met with our builder and picked out the last of the interior items needed for finishing (flooring for the 1st floor, all light fixtures, all door hardware, closet hardware, pantry racks, doors, bathroom vanity, faucets, and more). We did figure out one big unfortunate change... downstairs we won't be able to have a pocket door on the half bath. There's just not enough wall space and none of us caught it until it was already built.  Unfortunately that means the wall in front of the half bath gets to get re-framed and drywalled. :(  Overall, not a huge set back but still annoying.

Flooring goes in this week, then paint and trim, then kitchen and appliances.  Still on track to be finished by the first week of November, meaning we'll go through closing while Rebecca and I are on our honeymoon in Tahiti while the bank does it's thing.

Doors and drywall!

Door and windows are all in, meaning we have power and the drywall is all inside!







Foam insulation has been sprayed





Let's go upstairs




Bathrrom!



Bedrooms








Came back today and the first floor is almost finished





We picked paint colors for the interior and flooring types yesterday, and found a deal on a washer and dryer set today too. Feels so nice to be in the house with it coming together! 

First snow!

Progress has slowed as the snow has begun to fall.





Wife's Subaru makes getting out there easier.


Some progress though, the pantry has been framed in



And the closet over the stairs has been expanded.



Now we're just waiting for the local power company to put up out service and for the inspector to sign off on the wiring, and Amerigas to install the propane tank. Should (finally) finish insulation this week...
