Finishing Up...

Well we are coming down the home stretch, the electrician got the rest of the lights installed and got his final inspection signed off.  With that the next day Progress Energy had our meter installed and we had power in the house.  We had a few issues with some three ways not working correctly but electrician is fixing those tomorrow.  The landscaper came in and got the grading finished up and did the basic so we can get the final inspect, he will come back in a week or two to add some height to the beds and add more plants. We also got the plumbing inspection signed off so we have running water in the house.  The painter has been in doing final touch-ups along with finishing off the front porch. We have been busy finishing off the deck, I think I have bit off more than I can chew, I had to get the contractor and his guys to help me finish it up in time.  The carpet was installed upstairs. The gutters were finished up Friday.  We (Mandy and I) had several discussion on the color of gutters.  we could match the trim or get a dark.   We even drove around one afternoon looking at gutter colors...man we had no idea it would come to this.  We finally decided on the dark color and I think it worked out.

We are shooting for getting our CO sometime this week so we can start moving our stuff in this coming weekend.  We still have one final coat of finish to put on the floors which will not quite be cured for couches and beds to put on it but we can walk on.  There are some little details that still need to be so I would like to finish all those up before we get all moved it just to move it around for those details.



Still need to add the mantle...and the Kudu!




Need to finish the crown and light trim on the cabinets plus put a finish on the island counter top.  

Need to add some cabinet hardware.
