WALLS. BOOM.

So, you are going to be amazed at what the house looks like now. Because it umm looks like a house, a real house. There are now walls...all over the place...it echoes. Weird. If you are planning on going to sneak a peak without us, this would be the time to do it before we get it all locked up. Just wave at the camera when you go by. :)

Thursday (4/11) after last post, they started putting up the drywall. It took them Thursday and Friday to get it all put up on the walls, most of the day Saturday to tape & bed, and then last Monday the texture crew came in to spray it all down. Pretty crazy transformations. Hopefully you can now get a feel for what it's supposed to look like. It's looked like this in my head since the beginning though.

Top Row: Living room, and view from entry
Bottom Row: Front door (temporary) and hallway from bedrooms & media

 

 

 

 

Kitchen/Living/Dining room

Top Row: Master bedroom
Bottom Row: Media room

Bedrooms & hallway to get to them

Master bathroom (bottom row is the linen closet, toilet, shower, doorway to closet)

Last Monday the brick was also delivered and Tuesday we had our garage doors installed. Whew.

We also spent both weekends scouring the metroplex in search of perfect tile. More on that in the next post, paint too...get excited.  But those drywall guys were SO fast, we weren't quite ready for anyone else to come in yet so it was pretty slow last week. Things should get moving again this week though. We've got cabinets coming tomorrow morning, starting brick/stone and measuring for granite counter tops on Wednesday, and possibly trim this week too. 

After this week...just paint, tile floors/showers, wood floors, HVAC/electrical/lighting/plumbing finish out, security system, propane, hardware, landscaping, septic system, and driveway left to go...JUST those. It's now all picked out though (thankfully), we just gotta get it in there without all the guys running into each other. Home stretch, we can do it!
