Week 11 - Tuesday

Lots of workers out here today.  That's what I like to see.  The bricklayers have made more progress, the plumbers continued their work - including putting in the correct bathtub in the hall bath, the electrician planned for and installed the boxes for all the light and ceiling fixtures.  We  went around with the contractor to make sure things were right and make more decisions.  Having some concerns with the kitchen island, the contractor suggests it be smaller to allow for more room maneuvering between the work areas.  Plus the dog bath in the mudroom isn't going to work out- so we decided to move it into the garage.  He also wasn't planning for all the water sources in our shower like we wanted (we are splurging on that with the wall jets, adjustable height shower head plus rain shower head) so had to make sure he plumb that in.  And the concrete wasn't poured correctly to accommodate the masonry fireplace so there has been debate on what to do with that- contractor and bricklayer think they came up with a way to still do the full mason fireplace. 
Good news is the finish date is back to mid-July!


More brick work, the bump outs will be stone.

Miss Audrey is doing great.  After the clouds and few minutes of rain cleared, it was a beautiful evening, so we went for a walk and she was looking around the whole time - she had enough after about 40 minutes.

Happy Birthday Will !!
