Update
It's been a while since I've talked about the progress on the house, or posted new pictures, so I decided this weekend would be a good time to tackle such a job. Then I decided I should finish a freelance site I was in the middle of, and work on Christmas gifts, which I did do. It's monday and there are just as many photos and updates about the house on the site as there were on Friday. Seriously speaking though, new photos should be coming tonight. I hesitate to promise, but I really want to.
Progress on the house has been great! We have two new furnaces hooked up, all the electricity on the second and third floors have been run, and half of the first floor wiring is finished. We are still waiting on our plumber to finish his rough in, but knew coming into the job that his part would take a bit longer since he's a smaller business. Regardless, half the plumbing has been roughed in and we will be having the second and third floor wiring inspected tomorrow (this is good news!). We've been waiting for the inspection so that we could run speaker wires and have our alarm company run the permanent alarm (I don't know why, but I am very excited about this part). Aside from that, Nathan has installed one gutter, called a gutter company to finish the rest, and has been re-glazing our windows.
In these last few months until we move in, here's the timeline of what we have left (mine will differ from Nathan's, as he is the general contractor and I am more of the fundraising director): plumber finish rough-in; finish first floor wiring; get inspections (electrician's); run speaker wire; alarm company to run permanent wires; finish up on windows; get gutters installed; refinish/design front door/entrance and send to get milled (I think); insulate; drywall; tile; refinish cabinets (purchased from habitat store over a year ago); buy and install countertops; second rounds from electricians, HVAC, and plumbers; refinish floors; refinish tub; move in. At the start of that sentence I was optimistic. Still am, but am probably going to be a bit more realistic in thought-land.
