We've been working extra hours to try to get back on schedule at our house on Carroll Street this week. Lots of progress has been made this past week. As of today (Saturday 6/23) we have our trim work done  on all the door casing and the window casing on the inside of the house as well as the base boards throughout the house. Painting has started on the trim work inside the house and will

We just wanted to give you a quick sample of the finished floor color. Yesterday they were able to get the floor sanding finished and the stain color applied to the floor. It came out even better than we had anticipated! The floor needs some time to dry before work can continue inside. Kitchen cabinet work should continue offsite while the floor is drying.

More to come soon as things are wrapping

The window casing on the inside of the house at Carroll St was finished up and really looks great. We were able to recreate a look similar to that of the original window casing while dressing them up more than the original using our own custom design. Once the painting on the inside is completed they will look fantastic. We are really pleased with how well the work on these came out.

The grass was installed over the weekend in both the front and back yards. The new sod and sprinkler system makes a huge difference in the outside appearance of the house. Things look really clean. If you get a chance, take a drive by and see what a difference the new lawn makes. We also installed some lighting outside along the walk to the front porch and beneath the big tree in the front yard.

There are lots of things happening simulaneously these days at the Carroll Street house as we push to get things completed. Although the list of things to do is still fairly long, they are mostly detail finishing work at this point.

We started re-laying the original hardwood floor yesterday and expect to finish up the floor re-laying by the end of the week. Once its down, we are going to have it

We have working lights and also working audio at the Carroll Street house. We had the electrical work finish up the details on the lighting. We also have working audio in the kitchen. The kitchen speakers were wired in and the A-Bus audio system was connected up allowing us to plugin an MP3 player to one of the wall inputs to play music in the house while we are working. Its very cool and

We now have a real roof and gutters on the new garage at the Carroll Street house. It really makes the garage look more finished. We are scheduled to have the framing inspected on the garage tomorrow and if it passes, we move on to siding, electrical and painting.

Last Friday we had the taping and texturing finished on the sheetrock inside. Today we had painters come and starting priming all the

Things are really taking shape now at the house on Carroll Street. All of the sheetrock was completed inside the house, so you can really get a feel for the different room spaces. This next week we'll be having the sheetrock taped and textured in preparation for painting. We'll post so pictures later in the week once the taping and texturing is completed.

Things are really moving along well over at the Carroll St house. We passed our major inspections yesterday which was a big milestone for the house work. All the major systems inspections (framing, rough plumbing, mechanical, and electrical) passed which allows us to move on to insulating in preparation for sheetrock work. Once we had the green light to insulate, we quickly made good progress on

New windows arrived today and some of them were installed on the front of the house. We are really excited by the change in look already. Replacing the front door, trim work, painting, lighting and landscaping are still to be done to complete the front, but we've attached a picture so that you can see the style of the windows.

 Inside, the furnace showed up today and was installed. Work continued
