This past week has been somewhat quiet, save for a few pretty substantial advancements... (many of the subcontractors were working on other projects during some or most of the days... thus there's not as many photos this time around and only the one update since last Sunday)
Tuesday saw the most significant item when the granite countertops arrived in the kitchen.
The cabinet suppliers were back on Wednesday and installed some of the remaining few cabinets that weren't in yet and added all the door and drawer hardware to the cabinets too. Also, the first appliance showed up and was put into place; the dishwasher was the first one installed (by the plumber).

Also this past week the replacement countertops showed up for the girls' vanities....
Just to see what it'll look like, we set one of the sinks into the countertop in the master bathroom.
It was getting dark out, so I thought I'd light up the outside and see what it looked like, since the electrician has been at the site on and off this week getting more and more items finalized.
The electrician in on vacation next week, so next weekend we'll be delivering all the light fixtures to the site so he can install them the following week.
The plumbing and hvac sub contractors have been busy this week.. with the hvac work looking like it's nearly completed. The air conditioning is now working at the new house, a fact which I'm thinking will make the guys working in there happy next week.. lol
Ken Stencil is scheduled to arrive Monday to pour the driveway and the sidewalk, so Robin and I laid out the path of the sidewalk using a garden hose to mark it.
The finish carpenter has begun working on the stairs.... we'll have some photos of that this week.
The painter is schedule to be on-site this week as well, to do all the finishing touch up work he has to do.
The gutter and downspout installer should be there this week too, as should the excavator to complete his grading work after the driveway is poured.
I know the lawn installer will be itching to get out there this week too.
We're still on schedule for our final inspection date of August 6, with the carpeting scheduled to go in August 3rd, the same day the rest of the appliances are scheduled to arrive.
By the end of next week the house should be really close to being completed!
