Wow!

Hey sorry I've been travelling for work and haven't updated the blog for a long while now.



Completed
Carpet is installed (yesterday) it's so awesome it's like walking on pillows (8lb pad and a 72oz carpet). I may spend most of my movie watching sprawled out on the floor with the boys.

Electrical is complete.

Bathroom (tile is done, toilet and vanity are in place).

Painting is done (just one last touch up needed).

A/C is operational.

Trim is complete

Left to do

Mount projector

Finish hanging speakers

Install electronics

Clean

Tile gameroom (this weekend to lay tile and seal, next weekend to grout it all)

Shower (Mud pan, tile, and shower doors)

Fix the gap between the stone and the screen. I had to leave a gap at the top and bottom of the screen so I could mount the screen in the space.

Window coverings

I'll try and get some pictures tonight and post them tomorrow.

Week 6 Day 5

Well day 30 closed up with the painting being complete. I don't think there is a great deal ongoing this week. We've slowed the process for a week to let the funds catch up to the budget. I think this week the cleaning crew is coming in, the A/C will be hooked up, and probably some more trim work.

So far it's been amazingly smooth, and I can't say how thrilled we are with the end product (well almost end product). Bill is awesome, and I can't recommend him enough if your considering doing a project.

Week 6 Day 2

The STONE IS IN!!! Whoo Hoo! You can now make out the screen size, it's the big hole in the middle of the stone. Also a couple people have asked for some detailed shots of the columns so I've included them as well. The painters have also primed the ceilings and walls ans hould be back later today to prime the trim and doors.

Final paint starts tomorrow and should finish up on Friday. We're getting so close....

They also did all the prep work, caulking, putty, etc.Tomorrow is the big day, the stack stone is getting installed, and the drywall guys will be back out to do touchup work as well.The painters will be back Wed to prep and prime the trim. Thursday the real color starts going on the walls. So by this weekend, we'll know how it's going to look and if we should have hired a decorator or not.
