Getting closer!

I'll make this a quick one...you only want to see pics anyway, right? Well, I have JUST the thing for you then!

Monday the masons finished up the stone chimney on the back patio and removed all the supports they had on the front arches. And they made us a cute little mailbox on the street. Did anyone mail us anything yet? We need to see if it works! Rob also put on our front sconces. So pretty!

Tuesday the electric company came out to inspect Rob's beautiful trench and I guess they approved! This here is our electrical line that runs out to the transformer. Still no service yet, but we'll get that after our inspection - coming soon!
 

The wood floor guys came out and finished up the floors with their last coat of polyurethane on Tuesday. Of course we had to stay off of them until Thursday so no work all day Wednesday. It's worth it though because they turned out fantastic. We would highly recommend this place if you're in the market for super old wood floors! :)

After we let that dry, the trim guys came back Friday to put up all the doors, finish door casings and baseboards. Some of them still need to be painted but we'll get to that later. Also, check out how dirty these floors got in a day. Can't wait to get to clean those all the time...

Saturday, the same guy that did our foundation came back to lay forms for our driveway. This one hurt the ol' checkbook...having 125ish ft of concrete driveway plus a turnaround. Ouch. But it was surprisingly not much more than asphalt and way less maintenance. And my little car wasn't going to make it up into the garage without something...so alas, we bit the bullet. It'll look great though and last for years...so there's that, right? They still need to do the re-bar and get an inspection before they can pour concrete but hopefully by the end of the week we can get that in.

Oh yeah, and as you can see there, the HVAC guys came back and hooked up our A/C system. Of course, we can't use it until we have electricity but it's ready when we do!

And last for today, I'll leave you with our fluffy new carpet - freshly installed today! We got there a little late today so the lighting is weird, but trust me it looks lovely and it's nice and soft. :) And it's hard to tell but the media room on the left is a totally different color. We wanted it nice and dark in there. The other two bedrooms are the same and I must have missed getting a pic of the master closet...but it's the same too.

Not too bad for having all that done in a holiday week! Next up - install door hardware, install plumbing fixtures (toilets, faucets, water heater), tile around the master tub once it is installed, pour driveway/sidewalk, stained concrete floors, electrical inspection and starting up the A/C! Whew. Let's go.
