They Finished up the exterior brick and mason work on the house and shop. The masons still have to fix the conduit and replace a couple of cracked bricks, but they did a nice job on putting in the accents. They finally corrected the electrical issues in the shop after a bit of an argument over the next progress payment. To everyone’s surprise, the cabinets showed up on Tuesday with no warning. Of course they were not completely correct, so some adjustments had to be made. But Ronnies team were fantastic and had everything corrected in a couple of days. The plumber finally went in and correct the plumbing connections in the master bath so the cabinet would fit right. That issue had been known for weeks. We did find one issue with the framing where the short wall where the ovens are mounted in the cabinets was not deep enough. They will have to fix that issue since the cabinet cannot be any shorter due to the clearances required from flammable material for the ovens. They still need to build the vent hood frame that will be covered in weathered barn wood later. So, this week they will get the shop insulated, frame the vent hood installed, fix the short wall and measure for the countertops. Next week they are trying to schedule the start of the flooring install.
Watching for sales, we ordered a clothes washer and dryer on an early Black Friday sale at Lowes. We will store it at the builder’s warehouse. Later this week we will go back down to Second Chance Sawmill and pick out a live edge mantle now that we have measurements. We may swing by Burleson to a shop that specializes in barnwood to check out colors. We may need to go pick out the countertops if they get the measurements competed early. We also are engaging a water specialist to get our well water checked out to see what, if any, additional conditioning we may need.
