Snow Day! - Day 119

We Had another snow day today & are hoping to get back on track tomorrow. The paint looks good but needs another coat, so hopefully they take care of that! Having to schedule and re-schedule deliveries, dr. Appointments, days off of work to move, etc. is starting to wear on us, so hopefully Wayne Homes stays true to their word and has everything fixed by January 17th (our third move-in date). My hubby says "don't hold your breath" and predicts February. We never got a 120 day guarantee paper from our FM, but that day (according to him) will come and go tomorrow. Maybe we will get $500? 

Snow Day! - day 118

No work was done today because we were under a level three. We have crazy wind chills and negative temperatures. So far it seems like the house is fine, although there is frost & ice on the inside of our windows from condensation. 

Brrrr - Day 117

Figuring out downrods for our fan

Master bedroom

Primed doors. Hope this isn't a Pinterest catastrophe! 

Not sure about window treatments for this window. 

Painting - Day 116

Painting & Electric - Day 115

After a few lengthy and somewhat heated discussions about painting and paint type with our painter this morning, I think we have everything ready to go for paint on the doors and walls today!

The electricians are coming back to work today and hopefully things will be moving along!

Update: The paint guy "stood by his word" and made things right after a rough start this morning. I don't feel comfortable posting details, but suffice it to say it looks amazing.

The painters will be working today and said they still need to come back Monday. We are supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow Sunday and have crazy temperatures, so hopefully we don't get too backed up. Hard floors are supposed to be installed next week. 

The electricians must not be coming back until next week. 

Things are looking good. :) 

Traffic Jam and Snow Storms - Day 114

The electricians showed up bright and early to start the final electric only to discover...... Painting wasn't finished!

As we were talking, the painter called the electrician and told him not to finish or hang anything because they weren't don't painting yet. 

After our electrician got off of the phone, he said it looked like he will have to reschedule yet again for next week (3rd time now) to do final electric BUT they would work on the basement and possibly the exterior lights today. He said it was our project manager's fault, but I told him about the painters... Oh well. It is what it is.

The stone mason came back to fix the fireplace hearth that came apart. I don't think I mentioned that before. 

The painters are supposed to be here today to do the trim.  

Progress. 

Update: today, our fireplace hearth was fixed and the grout was cleaned up, our propane tank was picked up, some of our electric was finished in the basement, a few fixtures installed on the outside, and the trim was painted antique white. We really like the color of the trim! 

The painter will be back tomorrow to do walls and at least prime doors if not bust out our paint for them. They would like to be done by Saturday. 

We Can't wait for this to all come together! Hard floors next week, carpet the following, and then it's move time! 

Nothing - Day 113

We wouldn't have expected anyone to be here today if they didn't promise it. Twice.

We made a list of all of the things that need fixed today and it is growing.
