A long day for the carpenters! - Day 100

No pictures today, but the carpenters worked until about 10:45 or 11:00 pm today! We actually went to bed before they left. Our eight-year-old had a politeness meal for scouts, so he took them out some Christmas cookies and had a quick chat. This makes us super happy because he is normally so shy, but the different crews being here have helped him branch out. Most all of them were very nice and down to earth! :)

Lots of progress was made today... Lots of small mistakes too. All of the trim, jamb, case, doors, cabinets, granite kitchen sink, counters, and wood 1/2 capped walls are done. 2/3 of the beautiful craftsman columns are installed. It looks like a home and it is very evident that a lot of time was spent at our house the last few days. We are loving the progress.

There are a few mistakes our FM is addressing. They include: 

1. Re-building one area of the island because it wasn't long enough

2. Ordering the last porch column. Oops! 

3. Ordering new side splashes - they ordered the reversed side splash on accident

4. Ordering the lightrail molding in our kitchen

5. Fixing the main bath door

6. Removing and reinstalling the correct color of Shake siding

These seem like a lot, but building a house is complicated! This won't affect us much in the big picture, so we aren't stressing. Our site foreman seems like he's on top of the mistakes too, as he pointed some of them out to us. 

Today could be the day our fireplace stone is installed and our shake siding is fixed. I am not sure what else to expect so it will be my Christmas surprise when I get home! :) Happy Friday!
