No more big blue tarp!
The new garage doors have been installed and the chimney has been rebuilt to the new height also.
The new front entrance is still a work in progress, so in the meantime, we have a nice little moat. I'm thinking about keeping the moat, it's a nice throwback feature. Maybe I'll stock it with ill tempered seabass.
Jason crossing the moat. With his blankey, of course.Inside the work has transitioned to the HVAC installation, which is just about done, and the plumbing and electrical rough-ins. We did a walk though with the electrician on Monday going over the light, outlet and switch location in each room. We've decided to have an alarm installed and have the bottom floor wired for audio. So that should be happening this week. The kitchen cabinets are on schedule for delivery the first week of September.
Ethan, our GC, is very pleased with the progress and thinks we are on schedule. The next milestone is the install of the sheetrock. That will surely make things look different.
If you've ever run a large house project renovation, or built a new house, you know that it certainly is an experience. There are decisions to make just about every day. We still haven't picked out the countertops. Oh boy! Luckily Julie and I are on the same page about most things, so that makes the process easier. Except for the countertops, I like the darker stuff and Julie doesn't. So we'll probably compromise and get what Julie likes.
If everything stays on schedule and goes well, we should be back in our house in early November. We'll see...

Uh...Craig, I hate to be the one to tell you, but that ain't a compromise.
This from a guy that's been married twice. I'd think you'd learn!
Ouch...
