Siding

Rob found a fantastic, fast sider and we think they are doing a great job. We ordered a custom color cedar siding - off yellow - that only needs to be painted 1 time after installation. We started the first week of October and should be done at the end of this week - just in time to start our insulation - moving along nicely...

In the meantime, we are busily packing and moving out on Nov 5- UGH!!!!

The Front Porch is Constructed!

My favorite part - the front porch! After laying down gravel and a special material to prevent weeds from growing, Ricky returned to construct the front porch

Rough mechanics going in

During the month of September, our electrician, Frank Sacherski and his team, was hard at work roughing in the electrical systems. Many decisions needed to be made - where to put switches, plugs, and all the lighting in the home. Luckily, I had already sourced many of the lighting fixtures and recessed which helped a lot! Frank and Earl Ballard are also installing the speaker wire, telephone systems and CAT5 throughout the home. We have a true Smart Home and have keypads throughout the house that will control music in various rooms and allow iPod music to stream easily.

We also had our central vacuum system and alarm system roughed in and passed inspection for all of these systems during the first week of October. Phew!
