Open House!

The concrete was finished today and the finish guy was hard at work today to finish up all the trim and little touches, the siders will be back tomorrow to wrap the front porch posts. We should be able to move in on Friday evening or Saturday as long as everything passes for the final inspection!!  We have already passed for water and electric. :)

 We hired John Scott and his sons to do our concrete.  They are great guys and did a wonderful job!! I HIGHLY recommend them!!

 The back patio, you can't tell from this picture but they checker boarded the squares when they broomed it. It looks great!

 We added a turn around off to the right.

We put all of our hand prints into the driveway. <3

Granite!!!!

Our kitchen and downstairs half bath granite were installed, and they are absolutely beautiful!  Now Kevin and I are regretting not getting them upstairs as well.  I highly recommend you go to Granite Mafia/Cornerstone Counter tops, www.cornerstonecountertops.com if you are in southern Oregon. They did a beautiful job at a reasonable price!
As far as the rest of the house goes, the vinyl floors are in, most of the trim work is done, electrical and plumbing are finished.  The flooring guy still hasn't installed the laminate and carpet, not sure what's taking so long... We had a painter lined up and the day before he was going to start painting he power washed the house then called me and said he wanted $1,000.00 more than what he bid me, stating he accidentally gave me winter rates instead of summer rates(even though it's April and not summer).  He wouldn't honor his original bid, so we decided to go with another painter.  Unfortunately the house won't be painted now for a couple of months.  But before the original painter left our house he dumped his garbage on our front yard, gee thanks buddy! So, needless to say I DON'T recommend 'That Cheap Painter' in Medford!
As far as the driveway goes, we hired John Scott and he and his sons were busy putting up the forms for the driveway, front porch, side steps, and back patio on Friday.  They will be out pouring the concrete on Monday and Tuesday.  I'm excited to see the end result next week. 
Now for some pictures...and just a note these were taken before the light fixtures were installed.

 The laundry room.

 The master bath.

Our turkey friends were back and gobbling at us. :)

 And just for giggles, the rudeness of the painter!

Proof that he left it, you can see his business name on the bucket! Bad business dude, bad business.

Almost there!

The house is scheduled to be finished by the end of next week! I think it will be the week after that actually because the concrete guy won't begin until Wednesday.  The painter is booked up until the week after next, but he is making a special trip out to the house next week to do the caulking so the house can pass inspection.  The flooring was started this week but it was stalled due to some faulty pieces of laminate that needed to be replaced. So, the flooring will be completed next week.  The granite countertops are being installed tomorrow, and I am really excited to see them!  The electrician and plumber will also be out at the house next week, doing all of their finish work. 
I cannot tell you how excited we are to finally get to move into our HOME!  Throughout this whole process everyone at the Medford Adair office have been so helpful and patient with us. They have spent literally hours upon hours on the phone with us, answering every silly little question I could come up with and some big ones too.  Now here we are 2 years and 3 months after we bought our lot, finally nearing completion. Kevin and I are so HAPPY! :)

The beginning of the downstairs laminate wood flooring going in. It's a new color called Ashville Hickory.....LOVE IT!!
