Masons are done. Not only did they finish the exterior brickwork above the front door, but they built the front porch stairs (well, mostly–not sure about that cubby hole), and installed the fireplace stone.
Not too much change around the house over the last few days, thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday. There has been some progress in the master bath–floor is complete and shower walls are coming along. The special little door to the attic storage space has been delivered. Wood flooring was dropped off today, and is stacked in the guest bedroom to acclimate before installation. The masons completed the brickwork above the garage door today.
On this afternoon’s walk-through, here’s what’s new…
You have tile floors going in. Laundry room and guest bath are complete. Master bath is still a work in progress, but they built your bench!
Brickwork on the exterior seems to be at a standstill around the garage…so close! No more progress inside on the fireplace, either.
You got your garage door opener.
Here’s what’s happening under the house…light and smoke detector are installed, and you can kinda see that your “finished” area is still clear so far.
Meanwhile, in the attic, you got some extra blown-in insulation this week.
And finally, your interior doors have arrived and are waiting to be installed.
Bryden and Buddy were busy while we were in OBX, installing most of your light fixtures. (Master bath, front hall, front porch, back porch fan, outdoor garage lights not installed.) Fluorescent lights are in the closets, but not pictured.
The front facade and entry are still works in progress, and the brickwork on the garage has not been started yet.
Meanwhile, on the inside, the masons seem to be testing stones needed for the fireplace hearth.
The lattice on the back porch is done!
Dennis and Matt came by this afternoon and framed in your fireplace and put up the mantle so the stone can be laid as soon as the masons finish bricking the exterior.
