Our New Home – Week 17

We are now at the point of installing cabinets, lights, fans and other details. In fact, next Wednesday we will do the punch list. Most of the internal and external painting is done. While I do not understand the colors Amy selected, it looks pretty good. Starting to pack our stuff for the move. One week to go.

Let the photos show the story.

Finished shower walls with non-skid floors.

Front of kitchen is an open bar. We expected a concrete column but the builder surprised us again by putting a beautiful wood column. Love this builder.

Week 17 53

View down the corridor towards the front door. We have asked for 3-4 foot bar extensions on fans making them about eight feet high. Greatly improves air flow.
