Building: Week 25

We are moving at a good pace. Three of the last six homes are being done all at the same time. Soon we will catch up the other three. We are still looking at the end of July or beginning of August for open house and move-in. Thank you so much for your prayers, they are working. We also want to say a big thank you to our friend John Romney who came out to volunteer last Saturday and brought a volunteer with him. Every pair of hands helps and with their help we were able to paint prep an entire house in one day.

Here are the latest pictures....

The sprinkler system was installed.


The house was painted. It's all down hill from there. Here is the picture of the doors set up in the basement for their paint that I thought looked really cool. It was like the scene in Monster's Inc. where they had a bunch of doors in a line and each one opened to a different place. It was fun imagining what exotic lands were on the other side of each door.

The finish electrical was done (by professionals thank goodness.) We now have outlet covers and lights as well as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

This week we will be getting our linoleum floors and the cabinets will be installed. We're also hoping that our exterior stone will be delivered this week. It will take a long time for it to be installed since the family they have doing it has never done masonry before but that's okay, we just hope it gets started soon. More progress...yeah!

I remember a while ago you refered to your home being built as a pregnancy. At least now your past a point of a survival :) pretty good chance after 25 weeks. I'm glad your getting closer.
