At Last -- the final color coat stucco has been applied. From the outside it really does look like we're getting closer.
The electricians were here, but it started to rain Friday and they were not able to complete their work. Guess we'll see them this week. The drywall sanding is almost done. We decided to have a slick finish on the ceiling, in addition to the walls, so it's taking a bit longer. When he is finished, the painters can spray the ceilings and then we'll be able to work on the walls. We found a place to get some dirt for the landscaping and slowly they have been delivering the over 50 loads we think we'll need. That will help smooth out the bumps in the back 2.5 acres, with landscaping around the house and create a base for the driveway.
The painters completed the ceilings, walls and woodwork in the shop offices. It looks beautiful. One of our neighbors is a painter by trade and made us an offer we couldn't refuse for the offices. With the higher walls in there it would have been very time consuming for us. Also the a/c unit has been installed, so we're only waiting for the electric to get hooked up. As soon as we install the fan/lights and outlets we should be able to begin moving some of my equipment & supplies into 'my studio' and Steve's office into his room.
