Our Little House on The Prairie: Sept 12 - 16

It was an exciting week! The week kicked off with tile in the kitchen and master bath. I just realized I got so excited about everything else that I never took a good picture of the floor! The week ended with cabinets...and a few extras, too!

Master Bath (Condoo) Vanity & Tile

Master Bath door to closet (which is locked!) and linen cabinet

Kids' bathroom with vanity, tile and light (still trying to decide if it's upside down!)

Window trim in dining room!

KITCHEN!!!!! Woot!!! (Cabinets still wrapped will eventually be part of the "bar" that comes out on the left)

Laundry room cabinets and pocket door

Laundry room cabinets - I'm going to admit I almost passed out when I saw these. It's like another mini kitchen!!

Door to playroom

Closet trim in playroom

1/2 bath vanity, tile and light (upside down? maybe!)

Look! Brick!!!

 

After many many hours of driving around and many different choices being shot down (out of stock, doesn't lay right, not enough bricks, etc...) we FINALLY have brick at our house!

And garage doors!

 

Plaster was also started this week! The plasterer thinks he'll be done in 8 - 10 days so we're looking at a completely plastered house by the end of next week!

 The north side of the house (bedrooms, master bath, kid's bath) were complete by the end of the week!

And the rest of the brick supplies were delivered. Brick layer call tonight (Saturday) to say he'd be there at 7:00 am on Tuesday morning to get started. It should take 10 business days to lay all 10,000 bricks. 

 

Plaster board was hung going down the garage steps

 

Ductwork in the basement...

 

I had to take this picture because Jay said we would NEVER have a window unit in our new house!

 

Coming up next week: Paint choices, finalize lights and fireplace marble, more plaster work and BRICK!!! Estimated move in date is Oct 1!
