Our drywall is up and taped and bedded! They finished yesterday and tomorrow it will be textured when it gets above freezing.
The brick and stone is almost done. They lack about one more day until they're finished (waiting on warmer temperatures), then i'll post pictures of my bee-yoo-tee-ful house. On the schedule next week is the trim guy and tile guy. Our doors were supposed to be in this week, but that didn't happen, unfortunately. Last week we had an incident with some wire thieves. We went up there to check on things one afternoon and walked in on a young couple "touring" the house. Never mind the gate was locked and there were "no trespassing" signs in clear view. They acted a little strange and nervous, then left. We couldn't see any damage, but we still didn't feel right about it. They were scummy looking and asked if we thought they could build a similar house for under $40,000. Umm, no. The next morning the drywall crew found two inconspicuous places where they had cut wires and taken about two or three feet (the girl had a big purse with her). Luckily, the electrician came right out and fixed it so it didn't hold the drywall crew up. We didn't think to get their license plate, but we called the sheriff with their description and they have been driving by keeping an eye on things around our house as well as other new construction in the area. I'll be glad when we get some permanent doors so we can lock things up. Our move in date is dependent on the cabinet painter/stainer. He's doing a 10,000 sq ft house, so depending on when he's available, it will be either three or four weeks from now. If it's four weeks, that puts us moving in the week of February 14th. Pretty good Valentine's Day gift, if I do say so myself.
Simply amazing! So glad they are protecting my floor!
