House Building-Week 11

Can you say SHEETROCK? That's right, our house was sheetrocked and textured this week. It's looking more and more like a house on the inside each and everyday. They also started on the masonry work for Shawn's built-in grill outside and our address plate for the mailbox was completed. Also, the trench was dug for electricity to run to our house. I remember one of the first calls I ever made on this house was for the T(Temporary)-electricity pole--the temporary part went by so fast!!

The big decisions were made this week on the inside of our house. Shawn and I selected the following:

-Countertops
-Back Splash
-Kitchen Sink
-Shapes of the bathroom sinks (sounds silly, but there are tons of options).
-Carpet
-Tile
-Paint color for the walls
-Stain color for cabinets
-Material we're using for the bathroom countertops, showers, and baths

We also hired:
-Our cabinet guy
-Paint/Stain guy
-Trim guy

What's to come for next week:

-Trim people should be starting their work next week (staircase, fireplace mantle, etc).
-Our paint guy will begin exterior paint job (columns, bay windows, etc).
-Cabinets will start to be built, but we won't see them for about two weeks.
