...we did the tiling! For those of you who remember the old Dunkin' Donuts commercial, that will make sense. For others, sorry for the random reference.
Well, thanks to lots of help from my mom over the past week and a VERY long work day on Saturday, all the floor tile in the house has been laid. Depending on what is happening in the rest of the house this week, we will likely grout the new tile later this week or early next week. We've also put the first coat of paint on most of the trim (baseboards, crown and door molding) T.S. left behind for us to use.
Batch spoke to our local plumber late last week and he said that, legally, the city can not make us replace the washing machine drain since it was existing but that it would likely cause us problems down the road so we're better off replacing it now. Hopefully his crew will be able to replace the drain this morning and get the inspector back out to sign off on the project.
Bobby and Laura have been coming over in the evenings to help with the finish electrical work. They have all the ceiling fans installed and most of the electrical boxes wired up. There are some more ceiling fixtures to install and an outlet or 2 to find (they were accidentally covered by sheetrock) then we should be ready for final electrical inspection!! That means sweet A/C AND installation of our hardwood floors.
The neighborhood handyman is making quick work of our siding project. Almost all the "boards" of the board and batten siding are installed, and he should be able to start putting up the battens this week. We might be ready for house paint by the weekend.
Thank you for your prayers during our rebuilding. Please continue to pray for smooth building and passed inspections. So many things are just sitting on ready waiting for a small trigger to let the progress continue.
We will post pictures as soon as we remember the camera!
