The day before I left...

It was a strange feeling to make a quick stop at the house, knowing when I came back from racing in Belgium it would be totally done and we would be moving in. Of course, it didn't really seem that it was that close to completion, but we will see what happens! Here is the small changes I noted on the 16th of December...

I am still not sure how I feel about the glass railings.


The baseboards are installed.


Finishing trim work throughout the house.


I am excited about the master bathroom.


The bike garage cabinets are awesome. Hadn't really seen them yet.

A month to go???

Really. They say January 1. Granted, we are not moving in January 1, because we will both be in Europe and if all goes well (making the worlds team again), I won't be back until February 3rd. So that is MY move in date. Here is the latest progress.

Poured concrete counter tops are on site.


Sanding and finishing oak floors on 2nd story.


Project/guest room space


Love the desk.

Corey checks out his fancy choice of medicine cabinets.


Second set of stairs is in.


Carpet on 3rd floor is in.


Glass in master shower going in.


Front porch slab is poured.


Corey checks the flow of the stairs to house.


Dave calls Tim to inform him of additional costs. Just kidding!


Sauna door is pretty chic.


The rest of the fence is getting done. A few minor mistakes. :)


My biggest closet in the house: the basement!

Overdue update.

I never did get the update done the day before I left for my trip, so after 11 days on the road, the first day back, I had the Tuesday meeting at the house and the changes were awesome. It is changing every day. Here is the latest updates.

The driveway is all in. Just dirt and seed left.


The front porch and steps will be poured soon.

The rods are up for the living trellis too (in front of the door).


Shelves in bedroom and office are just missing glass divider.


Tim's bookshelf in the office space.


Carpet is ready to go.


Tile in master bath is done. It looks great.


Just love the double height ceilings.


2nd set of stairs going in.


Bike garage has casework in.

See through fireplace was lit to get moisture out, etc.


The cheesy marbles will be switched out, but for now, it is pretty cool.
