It's June 3rd, Day 219 of Project 713 and the various Odds & Ends tasks are moving us closer and closer to the finish line. We're to the point now where we're actually having inspections done on various systems and parts of the house. All of them pointing toward our final C.O., or Certificate of Occupancy. The following pictures were taken over four days, starting on Sunday, May 31st.
The carpenters were hard at work installing the railing for the front porch. I stopped by in the morning so I could show their progress at the end of the day. Scroll down for the completed look!
The crew was finally far enough to install all of the appliances in the kitchen. The shot above is obviously the new oven and stove, with our new ventilation fan.
The picture above is a wider shot, so you can sort of see the newly installed appliances in all their shiny glory. The dishwasher is to the left of the island, then the oven in the back, and the microwave/convection oven in the upper right and the refrigerator on the far left.
A closer look at the microwave/convection oven unit and our new fridge. Shiny!
The guys were also hard at work putting in the hardware for the hall closets. Above is the linen closet that's in the upstairs landing hallway. Plenty of space in there!
Above is the newly expanded closet in the downstairs spare bedroom. It used to be about 1/3rd smaller when it was Grace's room.
Here's another shot of the carpenters putting in the railing spindles on the highest side of the porch.
The guys were taking a short lunch break before finishing the last part of the porch railing.
And finally, at the end of the day, Grace shows off the finished product. Painting the railing will be next!
Now, another big step is the carpeting in the upstairs bedrooms. Above is the floor in Grace's bedroom. How that dude managed to move that giant bunk bed and lay the carpet down is beyond me.
The picture above is the floor in our master bedroom walk-in closet. It looks so comfy, right?
And this picture is simply the floor of our master bedroom, along with some of the extra carpet while the guy was cleaning up.
Thankfully, the final pallet of sod came in so the landscapers were able to finish off that last section near the driveway. It's looking more and more like a finished project. We're getting so close I can taste it!
And the fireplace mantel is slowly but surely getting closer to completion. I think this should be finished by the end of this week. That will be the icing on the cake.
Well, at this point, I've been asked by the management not to post ANY more photos until we get our C.O. and are able to move in. Kristin likes to call it our "Final Reveal!"
So, thanks for going along for the ride everyone and we'll see you again when we move in! Possibly in the next couple of weeks!
Cheers,
Flip
