I’ve neglected to update, I know. For those who are trying to keep up, things are continuing. It’s simply me that hasn’t found the time or words to document the changes.

Currently, we are about 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule. (Shh…don’t wanna jinx anything.)

So much has changed… where to start? Let’s say this: the framing and basically all of the exterior is done. The exception to that is there is some siding to be painted yet, as well as trim. That’s up to Michelle and I, pretty much, and is slow-going. But, we are nearing completion of that phase.

Inside, much has changed.

• Plumbing and electrical is all routed.
• Electrical service is connected to the service panel (meter), which means that has all been inspected and approved.
• Drywall is hung and shaped. Texturing happens today through early next week.
• Interior insulation is in.
• Interior paint is scheduled to take place the weekend of June 9th (email soliciting help coming soon!). At a bare minimum, we need the kitchen, both bathrooms, and utility room primed and painted so that we can handle the next item.
• Cabinets are built and will be delivered next week. These will be stored temporarily in the living room until we can set them. That’s scheduled for June 16th, 17th.

Michelle and I have taken a few excursions in order to pick out some of the fun interior things: countertop colors/styles, carpeting/flooring in general, and interior paint colors. Fun, but fairly difficult. This is mostly Michelle’s department–I have little fashion sense (SHOCKER!). She does a great job limiting choices, and from there I can help with what I like or don’t like. It’s a good team effort!

As I always promise, there will be pictures coming. Just have to find time!
