Update & Fireplace - Day 85

Yesterday, the only thing they worked on was the stone wainscot. They still have a column to fix, but it looks so good we can't believe this is our home! We were sad they didn't start finishing the drywall...but oh well!

Also yesterday, we had a short convo with our site foreman. He will be looking at the columns in the dining room, as well as the weird header. This will be interesting but needs to be fixed...

Last night, my hubby stayed up until 10:00 insulating and dry walling the fireplace to make sure it was done before the FP installer got here this morning. This was hands-down the most stressful part of our "customizations" - it has been a headache. Hubby removed the wet insulation, re-insulated, drywalled, and installed the start of our mantle. We were under the impression WH framers were installing a temporary cap on our chimney per a phone call with our field manager when they built the fireplace, but this didn't happen.... So we had to redo it. We are ready to put this behind us! 

Hopefully we will have some good pictures to share with you tonight after work. :)
