No Longer Advertising for LOWES

So, as the title indicates we've almost covered all of the Lowes house wrap. If you notice I said we, and that wasn't a coincidence. Matt and I spent all of last weekend hanging siding. It was hard work and it feels good to have accomplished something like that.

Some other things that have happened this week is the completion of drywall hanging. They've taped, mudded and skimmed. They are priming as we speak. Also, the HVAC units were placed and connected. The electrical service was attached to the house. Also, the kitchen cabinets were delivered. They are in boxes all over the house.

Here's what is to come in the next week...

Floors are installed
tile is installed in bathrooms and laundry
kitchen cabinets are placed

And now for the PHOTOS....

1.) Here's the AC.



2.) The closest I'll have to a pet Kitty. This is our neighbor's kitty, Pumpkin. I'm not usually into cats, but she's really a neat.

3.) Here's the front of the house

4.) Side view...

LONG overdue

So, it's been a while to say the least... Here it is in a nut shell.

• Insulation was installed, the rooms started to take shape
• The roof was finished being shingled
• Drywall has all been hung.
• We've ordered kitchen cabinets and they'll be here toward the end of the month
• We've ordered appliances, they'll be here around the same time as the appliances.
• They've started on siding
• We're going to spend this weekend helping out any way that we can.

We've realized that we're finally making progress! It's getting exciting.

Here are the next steps:

• Drywall will need to be taped, mudded and primed
• Doors get installed
• Frames around windows get installed
• Flooring gets installed...
