A Race to the Finish!

Here we are!  One short week to move-in!!!  A bit bittersweet as I do love the building process and the creating and making of something unique and beautiful out of nothing.  However, I am very ready to be moved in and living in my home.

Over the past week, lots of loose ends have been tied up.  All the subs came back and finished up with light fixtures, sinks, toilets and faucets.  The inside of the house is finished, except for carpeting, which has been delayed a short bit.  On the outside, decking was finished, wood ceilings were put up and trimmed out, all exterior trim was done and the siding is almost done too.  The guys have had some good weather to work in, which we're all grateful for!  All inspections are finished except for the final occupancy inspection and permit, which will be done after the carpet is laid.

The pictures below are a bit of a mish-mash, but I wanted to capture all the last-minute goings on.  At one point, there were 11 guys working in the house on one day - crazy!  I think I'll wait to post any more updates until Angi takes some final photos with her big camera.  We'll do some before and after move-in shots, so the last post should be fun.  Well, probably not the last post...because there's still landscaping, porch rails, etc., etc., when the weather breaks and the ground thaws.
