Now that all that important foundational stuff has been done on our house, it's time for some of the fun stuff to start!! Last week they poured the concrete for the remaining stairs/pathways and the driveway.
Here it is...pebbly like Kat's.
And it goes right up to the front door. I was expecting a small front porch - just a bit wider than the doorway and up to the post. So I'll be interested to see what they do here. I hope it's not just a step.
The inside of the garage is primed.
And this is the view from the kitchen to the living room. In this light, all the wall colours look the same. you get a better idea from looking the other direction,
Though now the kitchen looks very dark. The contrast isn't quite that strong. It's hard to tell in a room that doesn't have lights and on a rainy day!!
Maybe this is better?
The den is the same dark brown.
And our bathroom is this lovely blue.
Tink's bedroom:
On Wednesday they'll start with the vinyl siding. The carpenter already started working on the windows and he'll continue with some of the finishing details. Apart from that I don't know what comes next. We've been trying to reach the cabinet guy for ages without much success. I'd like to see drawings of what he's doing since it's not at all like what he did in Kathi or any of Corey's houses.
Won't be in Langley again till Friday so by then I'm sure there will be lots more to take pictures of again!!
So I found some similar ones for $90 at Home Depot and was all set to pick them up this weekend. On a whim last night I had a quick look at Canadian Tire (after all, they have all the Debbie Travis stuff now) and found these for $58. Yippee...I'm off to get them this afternoon!
This is the wall where the old pantry was and where the island thing used to be. It will be nice and bright when it's finished.
And the wall where the stove and fridge go.
Long view of the kitchen:
And this is the side of the house near mum's...leading up to the laundry room and garage entry. These pictures were taken yesterday. When we were there today it was too dark for pictures, but there is already a lot more siding on the house. I haven't walked around it, but if they're doing from the bottom up all four sides at once, they must be almost finished. 2/3s maybe?
This is the front of the house along the den and front door.
And along the garage.
And here you can see the front of the house where they've put the hardi planking and the Board and Batten. Depending how tomorrow goes, we might go out to Langley and pick up our tile to deliver. If so, I'll get more pictures then.
Here's the front of our house. See...they're getting ready for Board and Batten and siding!
Here's another view of the back yard. Can't wait to play out there.
And they're putting on the doo hickeys that the siding hooks on to. Or whatever.
The subfloor is on in the powder room.
The doors are trimmed...see?
This is the den. Above were the french doors into this room. I'm likin' the brown.
The hallway to the front door.
This is the kitchen. See the crown mouldings?
The dining room.
And the living room.
This is our bedroom. For some reason, this colour doesn't seem quite right. Andrew thinks it is right, but that this picture just looks off. I kind of like it either way.
