Framing is Finished

Our framer committed to doing our house in six weeks, it took 13....We had a little heart to heart talk last week when he came by and asked for money....He almost apologized for the tardiness and implied that the reason it took so long to finish our job was that his immigrant framing crew would not come back to our project when they figured out we were gay. From the second floor joists up, our home was framed by independent contractors that our framer paid to work on our house as a side job to their regular jobs....Funny how we never figured that out when the only real progress occurred on weekends....It is even more funny that our framer didn't fess up to this at the beginning....

I would like to write something more bitter and judgemental that expresses the full depth of my anger. Alas, the legal department has encouraged me to take the high road.....

Onward and upward, framing is 97% done and all the bracing is down. We'll have to have the framer come back in a few weeks to help frame in the window and door spaces.

Moral of the story? Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....

It's finally done...

   We're excited to report that our house is finally, really, officially DONE!  The shower hardware in the third-floor bathroom was installed this past weekend.   Yes, we moved in back in June of 2006....Don't judge...
