Electrical Walkthrough


We did the electrical walkthrough this past Wednesday with Elaine and Rob from Southern Traditions, and the electrician, “Sarge”. What alot to think about! The plumbing is also almost finished as is the HVAC and duct work. The masonry crew will be putting on the brick next week so we’re excited to see what it will look like.


 Dining room window.
 Stairs leading to the basement, located under the stairs leading to the second floor.


 Kitchen layout. The cabinet guy also stopped by on Wednesday and Rob had to be a little creative in order to get everything I wanted to fit. There was even talk of (Gasp!) losing the kitchen island. No way! This picture is of the counter where the sink and dishwasher will go. We had to shorten the island a little so we could allow for the dishwasher to be opened.

Roof and Windows


The roof is done and the windows have been installed! The garage floor has been poured and we have stairs! Now we can reach the second floor without having to use a ladder! We are so blessed that this is our house.  We LOVE IT! Just met the neighbors right next to us and they are LOVELY people!
