Took a visit to the house, and things are looking pretty good. The carpeting looks really nice, and the tones in the kitchen match nicely. All the appliances are in as well. They also installed the backyard fence. Looks like all that's left is:
the kitchen sink - currently on backorder
stairs to the attic need to be installed
some more trimming needs to be done - baseboards and window sills
coax cable needs to be terminated
they have marking on the kitchen window saying it's out of plumb
paint the partial wall they created for part of the kitchen island
paint the shelves
touch up painting
thermostat installation
installation of false shutters and exterior trim painting
and I think it'll be finished. I'd figure all that can be accomplished this coming week; so it'll be the backordered sink that holds things up.
I tried taking some pictures, but the confines of the rooms don't always allow for that. I've got a few AVI's to cover the rest. I didn't bother with the 2 bedrooms.
Here, I gave cleaning the fireplace walls another go. After two hours today, I'm giving up. It's not exactly clean, but at least it's no longer black. And, I spackled and painted the two holes I made from telling neighbors how I feel about their noise levels.
