The End Of The Journey

Day 262

Today is a bittersweet day.  The construction is done.  The foreman came by today and left us with this:


Lots of paperwork:  Building plans, warranties, manuals, and permits.  Also, he left us the keys for the new doors that were installed.

In the last week, our kitchen table was built.


It was made to match the buffet behind it.  That way we can push it up against the buffet to make a larger L-shaped table.

And finally, the last part of the construction.


The medicine cabinet door was installed yesterday and the foreman installed the knob today.

It's been a long journey from the beginning of planning until now.  We have gotten used to the men showing up and making lots of building noises and have grown to like them.  We are also going to miss our meetings with Lisa from the architects office and Chanta our foreman.  But as sad as that is, it's exciting to plan how we are going to move into our new digs!  We are already enjoying the new space and this weekend, we will finally complete our move into our new master bedroom.  With that being said, I would highly recommend Friedman Bruggemeyer Design Build.  Check them out here: http://www.fbdesignbuild.com/.  Thanks to all of you who read my blog.  It was a fun way to document the whole thing.  So until the next big project, I'll see you on Facebook or wherever we run into each other.

Dragging It Out

Day 253

Sorry it's been so long since the last post.  That's because hardly anything has happened!  It's just taking so long for the last few bits to get done.  I say as long as the contractor's sign is out front, it isn't finished.  But do not despair, there were some things done.

They capped the hole in the linen closet.


That hole is for cleanout access in case we ever need to snake the shower drain.


That, of course, is the medicine cabinet.  Still needs a mirror and a pull.

And last but not least:


The glass for the shower went up.  Well it went up about a week ago.  We still haven't used it.

Warning! This is not the last of the blog.  There are still a few things to be done and then I'm going to do pictures of the whole extension.  So stay tuned!
