We stopped by the house one more time before we have the final walk through on Tuesday at 2pm. Our son in law has never gotten to go in the house and since he was off work we called and got the okay to go in. We only called because as they are winding down there isn't always someone at the house working. The builder and developer have been awesome about us coming and going as we please. The cleaning crew is coming in this afternoon and I bet by this evening it will really look spiffy! They had cleaned the garage and I would sure like to know what product they used on the floor. That cement was sparkling and it also smelled really good! Here is the last batch of pics I took:
This is my laundry room. It's another pass through to the garage which I really don't care for but this one is wider and a bit roomier than the one we had in our other house. Plus Larry will be using the kitchen door to go to his shop so I am hoping there won't be quite as much traffic. We went with a granite counter and the pics just don't do it justice.
Here it is all finished. They even put a crown molding all along the top of the cabinets that I forgot to get a pic of. Little touches like that sure do make a difference. The flooring in here is 12X12 tile in a neutral cream/buff color. Next is the master bath. Today is the first time we have seen it completely done.
Walk in shower. The door is really cool as it swings both directions and there is no latch. We had the corner shelves added for shampoo, etc.
The girls will miss our big Jacuzzi we had but I am very much looking forward to having nice hot baths in this tub! That is one thing I have dearly missed these almost 2 months in the trailer.
The next pics are just the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, which are identical. Larry and I are each going to take one for our offices/craft room for me. They aren't huge, just 11X11 but both have big walk in closets, bigger than our master closet at the other house!
And the kitchen! It's still not quite done. They put the crown molding trim on top but there is also a really neat bottom trim and I guess they ran short. But other wise it's pretty much done. ALL the lower cabinets have slide out shelves!! And the drawers shut by themselves. It's so cool! I just hope I can remember that and not go slamming them shut!
And the corner cabinets have really nice lazy susans that are so much nicer that anything I have ever had before. I usually can't stand those.
That's it for today. I'm excited for the walk through to see it all finished and cleaned up! We are heading back to Shelly's this evening for pizza, White Christmas and gingerbread house making!
What a lovely new home! I LOVE the kitchen and so much more - I am very happy for you both and hope you closing goes off without any issues on Wednesday!!
It's been nice to catch up and I'll be in touch more, once Christmas is over and you are settled.
Congratulations!!!!
Hugs,
Lisa
