We are a day or two away from the living space of the house being done. Progress feels agonizingly slow. But you talk to others building houses here and we are all in the same boat. Demand for skilled workers exceeds the supply.
The painting crew has been spending a lot of time here. It seems they send in the second string initially to do the painting. Three nights ago we were dismayed at the painting job being done. Then the first string came in the next day to touch up…so much better!
Right now the main living area, my sewing room and the guest bedroom are all done.
The master suite, laundry room, powder room, the husband’s shop and the garages are all in need of paint attention.
Outside…there is still a lot to do, especially since they have been concentrating on the completion of the inside. We do have the concrete pads at the front and back of the garage. And there is now a concrete approach at the driveway.
Then it rained, unexpected in May!
And after the rain….
Moving In
Yesterday we started moving in where we could. We purchased some stools to sit at the kitchen counter. I found some of our dishes. Etc, etc, etc. This is going to be a slow process, we aren’t as young as we used to be!
Attic Lift
And finally, the husband’s long awaited attic lift is installed! He accomplished that task yesterday morning. It is going to make getting supplies to his shop so much easier. This 40 second video shows it in action.
It’s time to wrap this post up. The painters should be here again soon to finish up inside. Fingers crossed they finish today!
