5 April - The Final Stretch

5 April

Well, our home is almost completed. The closing is scheduled for 27 April. It still seems far off, but the house is looking almost ready. After a few weeks of slow and steady progress, it seems to have taken a quantum leap and all of a sudden things are done.

Floors, cabinets, appliances, sinks, toilets, lights, stonework, backsplash, fireplace - all are looking great. After 6 months of anticipating what things will really look like, it's so exciting to see what they actually look like.

I'll post more pics when I get out there and take some. But for now:

The inside is covered with protective plastic, so there's not much to look at right now. But there here's a few, starting with Laurie's favorite feature - the utility sink.

They put in the backsplash tiles, which looks great. It's interested that the gray glass tiles we selected look darker in these photos than we expected. The floors are a fairly dark gray, so the two (floor and backsplash) should to well together as a nice contrast for the white cabinets. The granite countertops look fantastic as well. The granite was thick-cut and looks very sturdy. Also, we got three pendant light connections, but we will be installing the pendant lights ourselves.  I think those will really complete the look of the kitchen.

  1. Thanks Harry. I wonder if I should add another entry - we've been in the house for almost 5 months now and really love it! Adding some things like pendant lights, carpets, etc really brings the place to life. We've also had no issues. Yay!
