Cabinets
So, this isn't the greatest picture because...yeah, you know, its from my phone since I dont have a cool camera..YET! LOL Anyway, the cabinets are up in all the bathrooms (sorry, I didn't take a picture) and in the kitchen...except that there is yet ANOTHER problem. Ha, of course! What happened is this, apparently when they built the bar for the kitchen, they went with the plans for the regular kitchen. However, getting the breakfast bar is actually an upgrade and changes a few things including where the sink goes, and also adding about 4 inches to the kitchen. While four inches doesn't seem like much, it makes a difference when you try to install cabinets that overlap in the corners...not good! So they had to demo the bar area and move it out four inches. Gah! Luckily it only takes a day to fix and should be finished today. They are also working on the trim, and installing all the doors. Also, apparently when carrying either the doors or the cabinets upstairs, the guy dinged up the wall in several places...so UGHHH - fix that too! I am going to try to go over there today to see how its coming along. Also, I went to my handy stack of paperwork that just about reaches my chin to find the step by step construction time line, which according to that we are about 4 weeks from being done. The contractor called today to update us, and said next week they will pour the drive way, measure counter tops, then the counters and sinks will be installed. We should receive our 30 days-to-completion paperwork on Monday. Today, they are obviously fixing the bar, finishing up the cabinets, painting the trim on the outside of the house, putting the doors on all the rooms and closets inside the house and finishing up the trim...base boards and such. Either today or tomorrow they will cut the curb - this is what has been holding up the pouring of the driveway....basically we still have a curb in front of the house, so the have go in and remove the curb, in order to pour our driveway, and walkways. So there you go. We are just about one month away from the house being completed (CAN'T BELIEVE IT), so I am hoping and praying that we can get the appraisor out there in about 3 weeks...which would mean we could close towards the early part of March instead of the end of March. Which means...we will have more time to finish getting settled in and LESS time living with my parents! Woohoo! So very excited! Can't wait to see the finish product...especially for Logan's party and this summer when we have so many friends and family stay with us to float the river!
