WEEK 41: Moving Along

Back again after a couple of weeks of inactivity, or not enough activity to spend time preparing a post. But, alas, we've had movement this week!

Kitchen

The kitchen, at this point, is almost complete. The refrigerator, ice maker, cooktop, and vent were installed today, which completes the ensemble of appliances that we selected. The cooktop, although slightly smaller than the one in San Marcos, is still cooler than I expected. (And, we are trying to eat less 😁.) That is the good news.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that the refrigerator panels all need to be replaced because of dents in the stainless panels from "Gorilla and Sons" shipping. The installers had already notified their folks about the panels by the time I got there, so either a replacement refrigerator is on the way, or new doors.

The builder also forgot the drain for the ice maker, but that is easily remedied since the IM sits next to the bar sink. But still...

Lastly, the glass cabinet doors are still to be delivered, along with the underside lighting for all of the cabinets. This is like herding cats...

Guest Rooms

Carpeting was installed in each of the two guest rooms, as well as the TV room.

Master Bath

We had a small surprise a couple of weeks ago when the building super informed us that the bath surround (already completed) had to be torn apart and reframed because they forgot that we had purchased a jetted tub. Apparently they forgot to plan for the access door to the tub motor. Unfortunately, I missed that one also...

Laundry Room

The laundry room panels were finally installed, however, one set of cabinets need to be raised about an inch since the washer/dryer/pedestals just barely fit under. Should be simple enough to do.

Pool

And last, but not least, we finally have a shotcrete/gunite day for the pool. They will be shooting the pool on 10/19, which should start the 45 day march to an escrow close date! Yeah!

I know y'all have been on the edge of your seats anticipating this blog, but that's all for this week. 

See y'all next week!
