Progress!
With the house:
+ the drywall/sheet rock has been hung and the taping, etc. will start Saturday
+ the materials are ready for the fascia & soffit to be installed Saturday
+ the septic tank guys replaced the standard tank lids for the 'drive lids'. So now if we happen to drive over the area where the tanks are buried with the tractor, we won't worry about cracking the lids.
+ the plumbers connected the water supply into the shop/garage
+ FPL (the power company) buried the new line down the side of the property in preparation for service to the house.
With the Shop:
+ the cabinet maker installed the vanity in the bathroom
+ Steve trimmed the rug in the loft room, installed the light fixture and added a shelving unit we bought for the space.
+ I relocated 6 large plastic containers & several boxes of Christmas decorations from the trailer into the storage room!
+ the tile guy is scheduled for Monday to hang the durarock board in the house bathrooms and lay the tile in the shop bathroom.
It sounds like a bunch & it was!!
Here's Steve in the family room after the drywall was finished....
this is looking into the kitchen....

Here are the septic tanks and water supply lines between the shop and house. Steve just parked the tractor back in the shed that will eventually be removed.

The scratch coat and brown coat stucco was finished this week. It's looking more like a 'real house' ! Now we'll wait about three weeks for it to dry out before the final color coat is applied.
Steve finished installing some sound proofing insulation in the family room. The drywall materials will be delivered Monday and they should start hanging it Tuesday.


We decided on the shop/garage shower tile and the installer should be here this week to lay it. We bought an under-the-counter refrigerator for the office, now the cabinet maker can now design the remainder of the counters for Steve's office.
