Quick update

Well we finished the outside of the house two weeks ago, so I thought I'd finally update. the appraiser came this morning and was impressed with the house. Well I should hope so.

Almost home

We got the final inspection on the house this week and got our certificate of occupancy. there's still a few more things to finish up, but it's liveable now. Here's a pictures to update you as of May 1st. (Yes, it's snowing in the pictures) Most of the siding is done. As you can see we have just a bit more to wrap up the outside, but we should finish next week.Bill and Rachel finished the deck, railing and all. They had to finish the handrail on the back of the house to pass the inspection. Thanks for all the long hours they put in.
We've got just a little more siding on the gables of the house and some soffit to finish.
Here's what the finished porch deck looks like.

It was a busy week. The granite got here Wednesday, which meant the plumbers could come on Thursday. We were cutting it close trying to get our final inspection by the end of April, but we made it with a lot of help.

A lot of late night and early mornings as Mary, I, Adam and dad finished putting in lights and outlets. I can wire a three-way and four-way switch now, so that's cool. We were wiring up until the time the building inspector got there. We finished just in time. Here you can see our ceiling fans and to the right is a cove heater.
Here's some of the finished plumbing fixtures.
