All Coming Together

Well, a lot has happened this week.  Over last weekend, the carpet guy finally finished installing the carpet.  It took him about 4 or 5 days to do it.  I don't know why they only sent one person, but he plugged away and kept working over the weekend to finish up.  Friday (one week ago), the HVAC guys returned to finish installing the zoning system and to install the A/C.  Monday, the electricians came and installed most of the fixtures.  They were missing some bulbs and had the wrong rod for the ceiling fan in the family room, but we got over that and the house is looking just about done.  Tuesday morning, someone showed up and finished installing the baseboards in the areas where the laminate was installed.  Monday and Tuesday, we also got our rain gutters installed.  Wednesday we finally got our driveway poured!!! Weather has prevented this for the last two weeks, so it was great to see this finally happen.  Thursday, it rained and snowed, so we had to wait until Friday for our front stairs and back patio to be poured.  This week, they should pour our RV pad and the walkway to our front stairs.  Thursday and Friday, the hardware guy showed up and installed the doors, doorstops, towel racks, doorknobs, etc.  Hopefully, all this means we are in the home stretch!!  Here are the pics:

Here is our newly poured driveway.  It has been covered up with tarps and blankets ever since.

The basement boys' bathroom. Sorry, Sarah, but you probably wouldn't want to use it anyway.

Here is a shot of the family room with the lights and fan installed.  The arrow was there to show a spot that needed touchup.



Here is a picture of the house in the evening with the outdoor lights on.

Here are some of the kids exploring the house.
