I can see it. We are almost there. All along, the target date for the renovation/addition has been mid to late January. From the looks of things, we should be in our new master suite mid-February. Not too shabby.

As a Realtor, I’m forever telling my clients “your closing date is a moving target”. Obviously, the same applies here. Big shout out to our GC, Don Stormberg. He has kept us informed and has always been accessible.

Here are some highlights of the fun stuff that’s been happening:

We replaced several existing doors to better match with the addition. New door jams & hardware will keep a consistent look.

I didn’t capture very many pictures of the drywalling…mostly because we were avoiding that portion of the house. Of course, we have all heard rumors about drywall dust. Rest assured, it’s real and it get’s everywhere.

The tile guy took his sweet time…but I wouldn’t have it any other way. His meticulousness has paid off! The “little blue circles” are for the heated floors. The mirror is recessed about 4 inches into the wall. Puck lights will be installed at the top of the mirror.

Remember that previous blog where I talked about the basement carpet going from gross to yuck? Next week, new carpet! To prep the basement, I started by cleaning our utility room. Judging from how long it took, we should probably clean it more frequently than once every 5 years.

 

 

For the closets, we went with a material called Steven’s Wood. It has a great natural grain look & feel. The back of the closets, however, were more like a particle board. I took advantage of Tuesday’s snow day and painted the back to match.

The next 9 days will be a whirlwind. I am guessing at least 2 more blogs before we stick a fork in this. Thanks for following!
