Well yes and no. We had put off adding the deck until later. Now is later. So I'm going to update this blog with pictures as the deck is built.

Feb 16, 2011: The Deck Begins
"Hey", you thought, "wasn't this house already done?"
Well yes and no. We had put off adding the deck until later. Now is later. So I'm going to update this blog with pictures as the deck is built.
It's not officially a construction project until the porta-john arrives.
When we built the fence, we put in a gate so equipment could get in easily (primarily for bushhogging the back lot, but also for this deck work). Guess where I'll be reseeding in a month?

September 29, 2009: Cleaning near done
Went out to the house on Friday and Tuesday. Between the two days, glass was put in the cabinets, grass was growing well, bricks had been cleaned, railings had been stained, and the last of the locks were put on the doors. Essentially everything is done now (we have a Certificate of Occupancy) except for some touch ups so I'll probably only update this blog once more when all the touch ups are done.
Most of these pictures are from Tuesday (29th) unless otherwise noted.
Glass installed in the cabinets (from Friday)
Another view of the kitchen.
The outside railings were stained. Also see where the locks on the front door were installed. The front doors still need to be stained.
View of the great room from the dining room. Some painting had been touched up on the steps.
Most of these pictures are from Tuesday (29th) unless otherwise noted.

September 23, 2009: Closets, Backsplash
I went out of town at the beginning of the week again and dropped by the house Wednesday evening. The backsplash, outside ground spots, logs for the fireplace, and closet shelves were all installed while I traveled.

September 18, 2009: Range vent, carpet, and quarter-round
We made it out to the house late Friday night and the grass seeding was done (I think), a vent for the range hood had been installed, insulation was put in the attic, and carpet was put in over the padding.
The hood vent running through the garage.
And the hood in the kitchen.
Carpet on the floor in the main level bedroom.
Carpet in the top floor bedroom on the east side. If you look closely, you can see that there's plastic sheeting on the floor, presumably to mostly keep the carpet clean during construction, but possibly also for the paint touch ups to come.
Vents on the walls on the second level.
Bathroom hardware to be installed next week.
Fritz looks at the seeded backyard. In the back, you can see a leaf-filled gutter. (The gutter guard was missed out on when fixing the gutter after the tree fell. The gutter guard will be added back and the gutter cleaned, I think next week).
