Well, this weekend was
certainly eventful!
Friday was super exciting – the
shingles were finished, the windows came and (as many as currently can be
anyway) were installed, and we have stairs to the basement now (as opposed to a
ladder in a hole, which this girl is NOT attempting). It was awesome! I love
when so much comes together so quickly.
We had also been told by our
carpenter that we needed to get our tubs and showers and the like so they could
be framed in and plumbed. We did that Saturday, and I’m very happy with what we
ended up with. Everything has plenty of shelves and everything is a one-piece
unit – so I don’t have to worry about scrubbing seams. We were able to get all
4 pieces (2 showers, a tub/shower combo, and a soaker tub) at Menard’s and
everything was in stock so we were able to take it all home that night!
Sunday we went BACK to Menard’s,
because the siding was in and the exterior doors, partially so. The siding
looks like it will go really well with the shingles (it’s so hard to be sure
until you are actually seeing the product in person – books can be misleading!)
so I’m happy with that.
We had ordered 6 exterior
doors, and 4 had come in. We were only able to take home 3, as one of them had
a split frame. So it is being reordered – good thing we went to pick them up
when we did so the problem was discovered in time to prevent too much of a
delay reordering it. My front door is absolutely gorgeous – exactly what I had
envisioned. And it goes with my window grille design well, too, I think.
Now we are in the process of
meeting with the heating guy at some point to work on getting that started and
meeting with one of the guys helping us do the electric work to get an idea of
the materials we will need.
It’s all coming together! I
love it.
