The Brittons

Gracie and Owen in their winter coats Stairway with with walls Back of house with finished siding Covered porch Front of house This will be brief...We were supposed to be to the point of painting this past weekend, but the drywall did not dry as quickly as they had hoped. So hopefully we will start painting this week. The gas has been hooked up, so we have a heated house as of last Wednesday. The cabinetry is supposed to be delivered this week and they will install as soon as we paint. The trim boards should also be delivered this week sometime, as well as our garage door. After that, not much is left but the flooring and plumbing/electrical fixtures. We also still need to have water hooked up. Other things are cement for the driveway and sidewalk and gravel for the drive. Gracie was sick over the weekend and I'm taking her to the doctor this afternoon, but of course she is doing fine today, so the trip will probably be worthless. I took her to the ISU football game on Satu...

Dining area looking out the back door Front entryway with open staircase Future basement bedroom with daylight window House with roof Starting the siding There has been lots of progress on the house since my previous post. All of the interior trades are pretty much done. The insulation is almost done and the septic was done this week. The electric was trenched to the house, the roof is finished and the siding has been started. There is a furnace and the gas lines have been run throughout the house. The master bath/shower is in and the upstairs tub/shower is in. The drywall will start either tomorrow or Monday and will be complete by the end of the week. They drywall team will to texturing and priming, then we get to paint all of next weekend. We are supposed to have the painting done by Monday so they can install trim and cabinets. Things are moving along! The anticipated move-in date is November 20, which would be perfect! The next month will be busy, busy, busy! Out for Ann...
