3/9/06 Work is progressing very well. Finally. Painting of the exterior is complete. They were doing retouch this morning. We like to color. It is better that we thought. They used Sherwin Williams' Chadwick and the accent is Swiss Coffee. The kitchen cabinets were being installed. Looks like the bathroom cabinets, laundry room were already done. Also, the wall texturing in the house is done! The doors were in place, looks like they were getting ready to install them. Also men were laying the trim to get started. The powder room cabinets are not stained but the cabinet installer said they were going to be stained later. Also I pointed out that one of the kitchen cabinets were suppossed to be a desk. Didn't I already point this out to them at least 10 times? At the end of the day, all the interior doors except for the main front door were in. All the trim upstairs and the shelving are in. Most of the trim downstairs were put in. The kitchen cabinets were all completely installed except for the desk in the kitchen and knee space in the MB bath. Luis the trim carpenter says he should be done by tomorrow Friday.
3/8/06 At lunch time, a man was putting sealants around the accents around the windows. Then by afternoon, they were painting the right side and back of the house! It is a very pretty color. One worker is spraying and 3 others were painting the accents. They were still sanding the spackle inside. Then by 3 pm a man was taping the inside of the windows by 5 pm Doug said they were already texturing the inside walls! Wow they were fast. I didn't even get to see them. And they had already painted most of the front, exterior. The interior doors, trim and cabinets were delivered today! Yey!
3/7/06 Spackling continues. They finished the 3rd layer of stucco. They have removed the scaffolding in front of the house. Why? When this is needed for painting. They also started clearing the lots across the street to the beginning of the cul-de-sac.
