House update

I haven't posted a status update in a while because nothing major was happening (that you could see and take pictures of).  It's been super frustrating.  Between inspections, utility issues and weather conditions...things have been delayed.  We had another talk with the builder and now we're thinking more of the last weekend in November or the first weekend in December to close.  PLEASE GOD LET THAT HAPPEN.  Here are some things that have been slooooooooooooooowly happening over the past month.

We have outside light fixtures!  So what if there is still no power to light them up...it looks pretty at least.  And we have a footing for the front steps.  Olivia isn't going to be pleased when she realizes we won't have a pirate plank for a front entrance permanently...

Garage doors...and lights...

Lights where our deck will be...

Footings where our deck will stand...

A garage floor...

 

A fireplace...with the wall built out...

 

A copper pan for our shower in the master bath...

Insulation...

More insulation...and my star helper...

 

And blue board.  WE FINALLY HAVE BLUE BOARD PEOPLE!  We've been told that things really start to happen super fast at this point so we are really excited about this shipment.

 

Don't they look thrilled?

This was last weekend.  Since then, we know that the street has FINALLY been dug up in order to bring power over to the house.  Hallelujah.  Thanks to a little Nor'easter...it's still not fully connected.  Obviously.  The blue board is completely up.  And they are working on finishing up the plastering.  I wonder how they are going to feel when I walk in there tomorrow with my camera and 18 month old?
