Week 14: Flooring, appliances, concrete
March 27, 2010
Lots of activity this past week as things race towards the finish line. Flooring installed, appliances, all remaining fixtures, concrete for the driveway and walkway, audio system, and front porch columns all happened in the past 5 days.
Week 13: Fixtures, exterior
March 20, 2010
Since the middle of the week, more siding has been added (and a bit more had to be ordered), the yard has gotten a rough grade, a bit of exterior trim painting has been done, and the light fixtures are all in place.
Mid-week 13: Siding, granite, fixtures
March 17, 2010
I stopped by in the middle of this week because I knew there was a lot happening. The past few days have seen the tile installed in the bathrooms and around the fireplace, the upstairs bathroom fixtures, granite in the kitchen, nearly all the siding, and most of the power outlets and light switches.
Week 12: Brick, paint, and a closing date!
March 13, 2010
This week the brick “skirt” was put on the house, and all the interior trim and walls went through their first round of painting. The newel posts and handrails for the stairs were also installed and stained. Tile installers were upstairs working on the bathrooms when we visited today too.
Week 11: Trim Carpentry
March 6, 2010
This week, most of the trim carpentry work was completed. Baseboards, window and door trim, cabinetry, interior doors, fireplace mantle — all installed! The place looks really different now.

March 4, 2010
Thanks to one of the contacts I made during the whole nightmare with our first builder, Hansen and Horn, I got news today that a judge has ruled Hansen and Horn will be liquidated and the company has been dissolved.
