Trick? No! Treat!

We got a couple real treats this week as we met with John Hammerschmidt. First, cabinets were going in to the kitchen. Clearly, Laura approves. And no, not one frame of this panorama was staged. Laura just happened to be signalling her appreciation as I was framing that shot. I do admit to shooting that frame quickly just because it was so apropos.

Our second treat was that not only was the tile on site from yesterday's visit to Terico, but also that mud was going up on the walls, at least in the surround for the guest bath. Even more, the appliances had migrated into the house from the container, as had the electrical fixtures. John's anticipating that the container might leave the site by the end of November! Another big milestone in progress!

Outside, the third coat of stucco is almost done. There's one plane on the garage front that needs the finish coat. You can see it in this picture. It's on the extended garage bay, the plane perpendicular to the front door. The other planes will be covered with architectural stone, and the sub thought that all the planes would get the stone. That same sub will be laying the driveway pavers, so we expect he'll be able to weave in that last little bit of stucco on that plane.

Next week, we should have the interior doors installed.
