Cabinets, and Gables, and Decks! Oh my!!!

Finish work continues as we head towards the waning days of June and march headlong into July.  July, you say???? MOVE-IN MONTH!!  Yes indeed, in a matter of 3-4 weeks we'll be moving in. YAY!                Here's a peek at the latest happenings.
 

  Kitchen (left) and Butler's pantry (right) cabinets are in and awaiting countertops and appliances.

 

 The gable arches were more of an ordeal than we thought. Carpenters determined the arch radius from the plans (left), built a large jig as a template (right)..........

.....which helped them construct the pieces.......... 

......that led to the finished product!  Schaweet!!!

  

 We'll be spending a lot of time on our completed deck and screen porch.  Nature and a cold one........Ahhhhhhhh!

 

Next week:  countertops, appliances, water softeners, and finish grading. We're closin' in on it!

The temps heat up and so does the work.

Progress continues at Fortress Flint. Cabinetry, tile work, finish carpentry, hardwood floors, and exterior work abound.

Upper cabinets for the kitchen and butlers pantry.

 

Laundry room cabinets.

 

  

Floors with a coat of stain (top) and a fresh coat of urethane (bottom)

 

 

The septic drain lines going in.

And here's the completed drain field. Yes, Mike planted clover.  Wack 'em!

 

Oh, and let's not forget we can get mail now too! :)

 

A passel of activity!

Between the painters, trim carpenters, tile man, garage door installers, graders, and general contractors there's been a passel of activity at the property the last 2 weeks. Here's a glimpse of what's been going on.

 

The graders are putting in the first sections of septic drain field. Once this is covered Mike will plant clover and put up a deer stand! Wack 'em! :)

 

The decking on the front porch being installed.

 

Tile being laid in the laundry and upstairs hall bath.

 

And here are examples of the finish trim. :)

 

Cindy was right; we had to take a few more trees down to open the view.
