Closing Date Set ... Getting Closer Each Day

Today we got word that we will be closing on the house on November 7th at 3:00 pm.  We will be moving into our new home on the 9th and are super excited.  Landscaping still hasn't been started and we were also told today that our contractor is bringing in a different person for the job, so hopefully soon.

In the meantime, lots is happening at the house.  Siding is still being place and three sides are now finished and they are starting work on the front finally.  Hopefully we will have some good pictures of that before the weekend.

Inside tile is down everywhere it belongs other than the kitchen back splash which should be started soon. First up is the master bathroom, the tile was just laid on the floor so we couldn't enter the room to take pictures of the shower tile, so will have to update that tomorrow.


This is a zoom lens shot of the wall tile around the future tub, I think it will look great when completed.


This is a picture of the lower level bathroom.  The floor tile is in but not the grout yet.  We also found that our mirrors arrived and were installed today as well as the vanity counters/sinks and some of the lights:


 This is the girls' bathroom on the main floor.  Again tile is in but no grout yet.  I love that we managed to fit two mirrors, two lights and two sinks in this space for them.  Drawer and door pulls have been added to all the cabinets in the house as well.


The last bit of tile is the wet bar area in the lower level.  All the floors have a dust/dirt film smeared on them. This tile is actually black and looks gray at this point!  Cabinet doors are being installed with glass panels for the upper cabinets.


Painting also continues.  We have changed the master bedroom from brown and purple to gray and purple and I am happy with how it is looking, but the room is fully of tools and I couldn't get a picture.  The girls' rooms are done other than carpeting but also are "work rooms" for carpet pad rolls and tools, so again pictures will wait.  The ceiling tray in the family room is now painted with the black color and so is the soffit over the kitchen island.  Light fixtures have been installed in many places as well.  The fireplace wall is finally getting the rest of the mud work done on it and will be re-painted black soon.  These are a few pictures of the living room/dining room/kitchen areas:
