The Front of the Garage

 They took the tarp and scaffolding down from the front of the garage today. You can see the stucco and stone.

Stucco

Image
 The first coat of stucco is on. It's just a base coat. The house isn't going to be gray. When they put the final coat of stucco on, it will be more of a beige color. The scaffolding is all around the house making it really hard to get into and out of the house.

Flooring and Doors

The flooring was installed this past week. It's pergo flooring.  We also had some doors installed. Those are frosted glass panes.

Plumbing, Electrical and Insulation

Image
It's been a little while since I've posted about our project. That's because most of the work being done was plumbing and electrical. What's exciting about pipes and wires? Today we got some insulation into the walls which is great because it's been so cold! We also had our porch poured and it has finally cured. You can kind of see it there in front of the door. In the coming weeks, our house will be covered with stucco.

Garage Floor and Mud Room

Image
The garage floor was prepared for concrete to be poured. This is the start of the mud room which will be just off the garage. The concrete was poured today in the garage. They have tented the whole space so the concrete can cure since today it's SNOWING!

Basement Floor Poured

Image
The basement floor was poured yesterday. It had been a long time coming. The original contractor who was supposed to pour the floor decided to go elk hunting and not communicate with anyone. So we were left wondering when the floor would be poured. Now that our floor is poured, they can start framing it. We also had part of our backyard bulldozed yesterday. We are putting in a small basketball court.
