Day 142 Part 2: More lighting, Deck 1/2 done, Granite installed, plants/mulch, porch, Stone

I wrote yesterday that we needed to get a different angle kit for the fans in the girls rooms, because they have cathedral ceilings. We got up early and went to Lowes this morning to get them and took them out to the house. I can not BELIEVE how much they got done after we left yesterday around 1:00 p.m.

As we were leaving today the cleaners were showing up to start cleaning. I am guessing they will start upstairs where the carpet will be laid and work there way down. The list is getting shorter and shorter of what is left and I don't even know what to expect to see tomorrow afternoon when we go out there. I have to register my 6 year old at her new school so of course we will stop at the house since it's about a mile away!

The guy put all the floor boards down on the deck, very impressive!

The exterior trim is being worked on...

And mulch has been delivered. Love it!

The side of the house where the box bay window is

Dining Room with pendants

Office, the electrician is raising this fixture a lot today

Slot for cooktop and hood vent above

Lazy susan in the corner and the oven will be on the left of this pic

Entrance from garage, the mudroom is on the left of this pic

and the pantry is on the right. I like this pendant, in my mind

I thought the fixture would be more towards the mudroom, but oh well.

Also, they had to shorten the width of this opening in order to give more space

for the kitchen cabinets, which is to the right of this picture, I think the arch is

uneven now.

Fan installed in living room, it's crooked. not sure why.

Guest room, same fan as in the master but we were told this morning that the

remote is missing. bummer!

The wood and trim for the railings is all in, should be seeing the railings tomorrow.

We left at 8:30, father in law went at 11:00 and this was happening:

 

At first it's all, yay the stone is going in but then I'm like...that's not the same stone. Please look at the pictures below and the last picture is the stone we picked a few weeks ago. It does not look the same. Our SR says the stone guy is saying the samples were wet, however...the stone on the house has variations of tans/almost oranges/light brown/grey. What do you think? The shapes don't even look the same to me? I remember thinking how dark the stone was going to be when it was up but that I liked how it's not boxy looking...but what they have installed is super boxy.

 

 

As the father in law was leaving...the cleaners were still hard at work and the carpet was being installed. We will go back tomorrow to look at the stone in person and to see what else has been happening.
