Floored - Day 212

It's now May 27th, Day 212 of Project 713. The operation has moved ahead on several fronts, both inside and out. We'll start with the hardwoods!

This is a shot of the entryway and the formal dining room. The floors have been stained and are waiting to be sealed.

The picture above is the front hall and entryway looking toward the rear of the house, so you can see one of the three sets of French doors on the back wall of the house. 

The shot above shows the kitchen area and the island in the center. Below is a wider shot, so you can also see the staircase. You'll also notice the empty spaces in the kitchen where the appliances will be installed... tomorrow!

Below you can see the upstairs landing and hallway. Our bedroom door is in the center of the background.

 The shot below is the staircase looking down from the second floor landing.

The next picture is Grace's bunk beds and stairs up to her loft after being painted and the railing fastened.

The picture below is our transition deck and steps from the back of the house to the patio.

The landscaping crew has been busy grading the back yard and putting grass seed and straw down. Nearly that entire area used to be an old concrete parking pad, so soon it will be nice and green!

In the front yard, the landscapers are preparing to put the sod in, but they started out by putting in some of the boxwood shrubs next to the house. They'll also be mulching those beds after the sod's installed.

The picture below may be a head-scratcher, but if you look closely, you'll notice that the power line is now connected to the house, which means that we actually have full-on electricity inside!

And that means we passed inspection and that things like the stairwell chandelier actually work now!Yippee!

This next picture isn't super exciting, but it's important because now all of our interior doors have hardware!

And finally- this next picture is NOT what it looks like. Grace was simply enjoying a seat while I finished taking my pictures around the house. Again, you'll notice the door hardware. LOL

Tomorrow will be another BIG day because the kitchen appliances are being delivered and the landscapers will be installing the Zoysia sod in the front yard. They'll be scrambling to beat the nasty thunderstorm that's scheduled to hit around lunchtime.
Pictures T.B.D.
Cheers!
