Imagine, waking up around 5:30 am in your backyard trailer, rolling over and looking out the window towards your half-built house (you know, the one with power only one part of the kitchen) and seeing it a beehive of lights and activity! Well that's what happened here this morning!
The plasterers were here at 4:30 am, apparently. We knew they were coming, but still, I was amazed to see the level of activity at 5:30. By the time the kids and I left around 8, they had already completed at least the master bath and foyer (including the 2 story portion that included setting up and tearing down scaffolding! They completed ALL of the plaster today, so the 30 day wait while it cures begins - then we paint! In the mean time, Tim will begin working on trimming out all the windows, and lining up the flooring installation, followed by installing the interior doors and baseboards and final plumbing and electrical.
Also at 8:00 am when we left, Russ and the framing crew had arrived to finish and fix the balance of their contract here - they had to re-do some siding by the chimney (which they had finished to the existing/crooked chimney instead of a plumb line where the new one is) and the new deck (which was somehow out of square by a couple of inches), completed the siding around the new sliders, back door, and the eave near the chimney. All in all it was a very big day!
