Plumbing etc.

On Thursday morning, I met with the plumbing and heating place to go over all our choices and confirm the go ahead. Liam and Cole came with and Liam was very intrigued with all the taps, toilets and tubs... that afternoon when we stopped by the house, we saw that the plumbing has been started!!! It continued to move along on Friday and they are projecting that the basement will be poured by next Wednesday or Thursday!

{Shingles}

Well it's definitely exciting to see the shingles going on - feels a bit more 'realistic' now! The plumber also called saying that they were ready to start pretty quick but wanted to meet with us first, so we have an appointment there on Thursday morning. Last night I picked out the vanity (Home Depot) that I wanted for the little 1/2 bath on the main floor, instead of a pedestal sink and today I decided on the spindles for the (interior) railing... so the final little details are coming together. We still desperately need to sell our current home though, so it is almost a good thing right now that the new house will be delayed! It's hard not to start feeling a bit anxious about it all!

Doors, windows...

It's been a slow week on the homefront... still have a house FOR SALE and not a whole lot going on with the new house! They've added in the rest of the windows and doors, finished sheeting the roof and are currently working on the deck. Do you like my red door? We had it sprayed at an autobody shop and we used the FORD 'red' colour (G2 I think the code is). I think it looks great but the only disappointment is the silicone part around the side panel is peeling off a bit (the paint) - it obviously doesn't adhere to the silicone but not sure what I should do???? It is noticeable but I can't un-install the door at this point... suggestions?

Zoomin' in on the red door & deck...
