House Update - Even Closer!

Countertops are in. Bathroom surrounds are in. All electrical is finished (as far as we can tell), including the garage door openers on the new garage doors. The top of the porch has been pored. The brick has started, but has a ways to go.

What's left? . . . . final plumbing, carpet, touch up, wood on top of railing, back porch stairs, garage stairs and railing, porch steps, finish the brick, smooth out the backyard, poor the driveway . . . I think that is about it.

The builder hopes to be finished with it by next Friday, September 30th. My guess is that we will close sometime the next week and then move the second weekend of October. Before we move in, I want to paint some accent color in Molly's room. I know if I don't do it before we move in all the way, it will never get done. We have also ordered all our blinds and would like to get them hung before we actually move in.

After that . . . touch up paint and carpet cleaning in our townhouse, then we need to get it listed and rented, hopefully by November. (If anyone in the blog world knows of someone looking for a rental, please let me know.)

Here are some new pictures. One is the house with stucco before brick. The second is the house exterior with some brick finished.
