Nov 22 – Dec 6 – So Thankful

39

I hope you all enjoyed a very Happy Thanksgiving with your friends and family! It was a short three-day week, then the holiday, followed by a long, quiet weekend enjoyed by all. The following week the crew was back at it, creating a masterpiece.

The framing crew worked on the interior pick up framing and then to the great room deck and the deck for the primary suite deck. It looks beautiful! We especially LOVE the truss for the exterior deck roof support. Thank you Patrick and Jon for your talent in creating this!

All of the windows have been installed except for the east and west side of the great room. We’re still waiting for the entry door and for the back deck to be completed so that the patio door can be installed. The window waterproofing has been completed.

Speaking of windows, we have to remove, reframe and reinstall the two huge kitchen windows, as the former framing crew installed them an inch too low. Think an inch doesn’t matter? It does, because without the correction to make it higher, the countertops would be higher than the window sill. We’re hoping that correction will be completed this week.

Meanwhile, the plumbers have been busy with the rough in, along with fire sprinkler prep and rough in.

The electricians were busy helping prepare for the connection of permanent power from PSE. The electricians will be back this week to complete their electrical rough in.

CJ, our excavator fixed the ruts by the property and smoothed the terrain by adding mulch to the side and the back area. It will be nice to not have the manlift and the forklift stuck in the mud!

James and I have been busy with meetings for sheet rock and painting, doing the take off to order the trim, and finalizing the order for the cabinetry. 

Still so much to do, but it’s moving in the right direction!
