Apr. 27 No. II - I have learned that some periods of a construction project graph as a "step function" (a flat line followed by vertical change.) We have just completed such a period: after watching the paint dry for a while, progress is zooming again. Early this week, conduit for underground utility services was installed. Later, molding and doors arrived. Finally, the granite to complete our fireplace and the posts supporting the front entrance arrived! The house is a beehive of activity again and we are closing in on completion! Here are some pictures! Stay tuned!

Apr. 27 No. I - It has been two weeks since my last report. This has been due to the nature of the work being done: taping and sanding sheetrock. Not exactly the most photogenic subject...but important progress, nonetheless! Rather than pictures of "mud" drying, I have provided pictures of our crack construction crew at lunch, Mary Anne planning her closet with Kevin, Hersh testing the reading area, the last ice and Mary Anne sunning during a meeting with our landscaper. Please also see the next post for exciting progress!

Apr. 13 - Sheetrock is completed! This week, all the wallboard was hung and taping & sanding began. Here are some pictures of the last sheet being hung in the garage and the first taping.

The front door arrived and was installed.

Also, there are pictures of the attic ("bonus") room and both the main part of the MBR and the "reading area" on the east side. Pretty hot stuff!

The end is in range....Stay tuned! Hersh

Apr. 6 - This week's big events were inside the house. Insulation was completed, sheetrock was started, the boiler and hot water tank arrived, and communication systems were wired (black is cable, white is phone & blue is data). All in all, a good week of progress. We now look forward to flooring, cabinets, lighting and finish work!! We're in the last legs of the journey!
