Practically Finished

We are three days away from our final walk through and a week from tomorrow, we will be closing.  This will be the longest week in five plus years.  Almost everything seems to be complete now. We are still waiting for the yard and saw a few minor glitches inside.  It looks like they did a pretty major cleanup today.  Carpets were even vacuumed.

Here's our house number

And our front door...

Our basement does have the padded walls...I was hoping to paint the concrete bright colors...


We have a mailbox

And the garage is pretty much cleaned out


Garage door openers installed


Kitchen is cleaned up and crown molding is on


 
Dishwasher is installed...and it even has the stainless steel interior like we had in Oregon.


My pantry

The girls' bathroom all cleaned up...probably the last time it will be so clean.


The last baluster is finally in!


The handles are on the attic bedroom closet


Hard to see...but the screens are all in.


The half bath mirror is up...but is a little high for my taste.


More pictures of the kitchen crown molding



Our two air conditioning units...so cute.

Almost Over


 
The doors were all locked yesterday so we didn't expect to go in tonight. What a nice surprise...an unlocked service door.
 
It looks like the fixed the cabinet to allow the icemaker line a place to come through to the refrigerator.
 

 
The range and microwave are in. The countertops are also all secured.


My little island finally has its countertop.


And I have plugs on BOTH ends of the countertop.


I had to sacrifice a double wall oven for that attic...this was the best I could do.


Door knobs!  They are all in...except for the attic bedroom closet.


Master shower doors....not what I expected. The plan shows two glass panels and a swing out door...these look suspiciously like sliding doors.  UGH!!!!!!!!!


More doorknobs...

 
The trim we hated in the stairwell has been fixed! Yippee!!!



Doors to the "attic" off of the attic bonus room


Mirror (and Mike) in the attic bathroom


Top of the half walls in the attic are finally finished...such an improvement



Closet doors with no knobs...so sad...

We even get "free" shower rods.


Attic door insulated with Styrofoam?

Mirror in the girls' bathroom


Mirror in the master bathroom


And the mirror for the half bath....waiting for a nail, I guess...

Toilets and Faucets

It's almost starting to look like a home. We have toilets and faucets!

 
 
Here is the half bath...



A faucet for the kitchen sink

Lots of tape indicating flaws, I suspect.


Found this fancy fan switch in the girls bathroom...but not the master?


The toilet in the girls' bathroom

The fixtures in their bathtub

 Faucets on their sinks...


And faucets on ours


Our "lovely" shower...the white is growing on me...I have decided to leave it white (we ordered off white) and someday change the bathroom floor.
