Carpet and Wood Floors Installed

The workers installed the carpet and finished the wood floors this week. Now we have a long Thanksgiving weekend before the drywall company comes out, next week, to repair the remaining scrapes and dings. Then the final paint, Blinds, Drapes, Cleanup, Tile sealing, and final punch list will occur.  Soon after that we will be moving in!

Electricity Turned On and Wood Floors

After several weeks of what seemed like a run-around from the city, we passed our final inspection!  That allowed us to get electricity pulled to the meter and turned on.  With electric turned on, we started up the Air Conditioner units and brought in the wood for the floors to acclimate to the house.  The installers began putting down the floor yesterday.  Things are finally starting to come together.

Re-Vegetation Complete

Part of the requirements for getting the CofO (Certificate of Occupancy) was to re-vegetate all the areas of the construction site that we disturbed and also vegetate some of the areas that weren't disturbed.  This task is now complete, and we expect the CofO to be issued early next week.  That will allow us to pull electrical power to the house and then complete the final phase of turning on the HVAC, bringing in the wood floors, and completing the punch list.
