More House Progress

The installers finished putting the appliances into the kitchen.  And the alarm company installed the alarm. When I stopped by the house this evening, the sun was setting and made the colors so vivid on the fresh paint.  Looking forward to the final completion.

 

Painting and Cabinets

It's been a couple more weeks of progress on the house. The painters came and completed the first two (out of three) coats of the interior. This week, the workers are installing the cabinets.

More Progress on Melody

Several things were going on in the last couple weeks at Melody Drive. The drywallers finished mudding and sanding the walls, and now they are very smooth.  The texturing is very slight, and we are happy that it's not as "bumpy" as the old walls in Ahwatukee were.  The stucco company made good progress both on the brown coat of the house and the plastering of the retaining wall around the driveway.  The painters started their prep work inside, with the first stain of the interior doors and starting with calking and taping off.  The finish carpenter began laying out the shelves in the pantry and building out the closets in the bedrooms.  It's all coming together quite nicely!

Lifting Trusses onto Roof

The framers used pure elbow grease to lift all of the trusses onto the roof; no crane needed.  Here they are putting up the remaining trusses over the kitchen and patio area.
