Week 21

Good meeting today down at the house!

Jim Tragessar our Landscape Architect and Mike were there to review Jim's plan.  It's beautiful but also likely VERY expensive.  We think we're going to break it up into chunks and do a bit of it over the next few years.  I took the C size print and scanned 5 8.5x11s that I then pieced together.  I think this gives you a flavor of what it will look like.

Interesting things to note on the print:  patio out the back of the house and a round fire ring.  Also Jim was the man that designed the curvature of the front wall.  That is visible in front of the home along with quite a bit of plantings around it.

As I had mentioned in the previous post, the kitchen and back hallway are just about refloored.  I expect that they'll likely finish up today and grout on Sunday.

The bathroom mirrors are installed as is all of the closet shelving.  Once the tile flooring is complete the plumber will be back in to finish things up and will turn the water on to the house.  Mike told us that he'd be turning the pex on one line at a time so that each line could be labelled.  Thank God!  I thought I'd have to do that.

I didn't get any new pictures since the kids were dying to get out of there.  Instead, I present some pictures taken last week that I had not posted in the week 20 update.  Kind of week 20 rejects that are good enough for week 21.
