House of Hart

Almost there

The tile is installed and all the appliances are in and working.  The bathroom is almost complete.  We just haven't decided on a vanity yet.  Once the vanity is in, the inside of the house will be complete.  We still need to install the water heater in the barn and hook up the plumbing to the septic, but I can start moving in while that is being done.

Another shopping day

We picked our floor and bathroom wall tile today.  We are going with a neutral beige on the floors and walls in the bathroom, but we are adding some 1 inch glass and stone accent tiles in the bathroom.  The glass tiles will go very well with the paint I have picked out.

The kitchen is going well also.  My sweet husband put in the faucet last night and is now running the plumbing for the dishwasher.  I have put in most of the shelf and drawer liner and cleaned all the dust from the cabinets.  The microwave/vent hood is all set and as soon as the tile is installed we can move the fridge and range in. 

As for moving day, we are still a ways off but my estimate of October is still the plan.  It will be much cooler to move by then as well.

The granite is in

 

The granite was installed today and it looks fantastic.  We also installed the cabinet knobs and pulls.  The kitchen is really coming together.  The floor tile will be installed next Monday, so I need to get to the store and pick the tile I want to use.  Hopefully I will do that tomorrow. 

A little closer every day

 

We get a little closer everyday.  This holiday weekend we managed to get the tub set, the hardware on the cabinets, and some light fixtures installed.  After a slow start on the granite, it should be installed next week.  We have had a couple of tile bids come in this weekend and as soon as the granite is in, we will have the tile installed.  Once the tile is in, all the dirty work should be complete on the inside and I can clean.  Then we can touch up the walls and start moving some stuff in.  We won't be ready to live there yet, but we can start moving things we don't use every day.
