Last I heard, tomorrow is the inspection

And I know that our builders are going to fail it on purpose. But I really did think the house would be further along than this. For my own sake, I'm going to list what I can see that still needs doing inside.

Here's the outside. There's quite a lot of clean up to be done out side, especially on the North side of the house. However, as it's winter now, and the clean up guy always comes after dark, I'm anticipating that we will have to be doing a lot of that clean up. As long as it's not me that has to climb on the roof to clean out the gutters ;)

Here's one shot of the laundry room. The piping and stuff for the hot water tank is all in there now. Again, I'm surprised that it's all done outside the wall but I'm all for hot water :)

The painting is done inside. And all the doors are hung. I didn't pay attention to how many light switches and electrical outlets still need plates, but it's a fair number. There's a good stack of them in the kitchen.

The kick plate has been installed in the kitchen though. I love ours here, I'm so glad to get one there!

Here's one side of the den.
And another view. Unfortunately, these pictures don't do it justice. You'll have to come for a visit. In this room we still need the mantle for the fireplace and some of the plates.

The caps have been placed on the banister.

And here's our room. The ceiling and walls have been painted (second coat) and the ceiling has had some accenting done.

This is our bathroom. We still need the glass walls around the shower, and cabinet doors (actually, we haven't got cabinet doors anywhere yet, so that's another thing we're waiting for).

The stairway outside our room:

So, I'm not back in Langley till Tuesday. We'll see what they manage to accomplish by then. I had hoped to have Andrew install curtains in our bedrooms on Wednesday so that when we move in on Thursday we don't have to worry about not having window coverings. We'll see if I get around to finding some and also the rods :P
