-- What's going on?

     First off, I realized I haven't put a picture up in a while.  This was taken this past weekend.

4/14/2012

     Since the last picture I posted three weeks ago, the roof has been shingled and you'll see that the unpainted shake and soffits have been hung as well.

     But the real updates are what is going on inside.  The central vacuum system has been installed, all of the electrical and plumbing has been run, and all of the insulation has been put in.  Most of the drywall has been hung downstairs, and everything is moving right along.

     In meeting with our contractor, he gave us a very tentative schedule for upcoming projects:

        - 4/13 Sheetrock Start

        - 4/27 Tile

        - 5/01 Trim (baseboards/crown molding)

        - 5/04 Paint

        - 5/09 Cabinets

     There was one piece of news we received that wasn't great.  All of this time, we've been told that we should be finished around May 29.  The contractor has been telling us that the weather has been good and that we are ahead of schedule.  Well, we discovered that somehow, the wires got crossed, and he was given a completion date of June 20 - 3 WEEKS LATER!!!  So when he's been saying we're ahead of schedule, he's been meaning we're ahead of that June 20 date.  He said he didn't think the May 29th was possible.  Of course, we told him not to rush, and that we want everything done right.  We were just excited for the May date, and now it seems like the extra three weeks is a lifetime.   

     Oh, well.  C'est la vie.
