Hardwood floors...oh my!

Due to the chaos that is our life, we haven't made it up to the house in over two weeks (gasp!), but our builder sent us a few pictures he snapped last week.

The hardwood floors on the main level should be fully installed by now:


The basement is now fully framed with the drywall ready & waiting as soon as the framing inspection clears:


Up next: cabinets! Woot!

Little by little.

Things are slowly taking shape inside...the moulding on the first & second floors is almost done.


The interior doors on both these floors are also done, but THEY ARE THE WRONG DOORS, so I didn't take any pictures of them. *Sigh*
Ah well....rewind & start again!

The stairway is well on its way:

The drywall in the first & second floors was hung this past week....exciting! It's starting to look like a real house now!

Cement poured.

They poured the cement in the basement & garage this past week...





All inspections were signed off on as well, so this next week will bring the start of: elevator installation, insulation, drywall, stone work, & siding, which has already started!

It's starting to feel real now.

In Between.

This has been an "in between" week for the house progress...Right now, we're in between the electrical inspection, the heating inspection, the framing inspection...yawn...boring!...but all necessary. That should all be done by Wednesday, so they can then start on the insulation, siding, stone, basement framing...stuff that's fun to watch! Until then...

There is still progress being made. They have installed the heating pipes for the garage & basement floors:




The outside recessed lights are in:
