So after a very long process, we got the certificate of occupancy on Wednesday which means we can technically move in although in reality that is still a few weeks away.

We walked the house with the builder today and put stickers on all the areas that needed touch up paint. There is also still a lot of exterior work to be done in the landscaping but the interior is complete.

Speaking of exterior, the parking near the street has been completed and looks great.

The upper deck has all the trim now for safety.

All the entry planters are in and getting filled with dirt in prep for planting.

Hopefully we will be 100% setting by end of July and can throw one hell of a house warming party.

The floating steps leading up to the front door are finally finished.

Next steps are the steel planters that will surround them. The posts have been installed to attache the steel.

The garage floor has been installed.

The sewer line has been re-attached now that the bridge is done.

Washer and dryer have also been delivered and installed.

After almost two months of non-stop rain, the weather finally cooperated and the bridge over the creek bed was finally poured. Here is the finished forms waiting on the concrete to show up.

Pour has started.

Finishing up.

It is such a relief to get this done. It was causing access issues to the house to finish up the final interior and exterior items.

The bridge didn’t cause all work to cease. The steel work painting continued.

The upstairs deck was completed including the stairs down to the upper landing area.

Landscaping work should start next week now that trucks have access. The interior AV work also continues to get wifi, cameras, and sound systems integrated.

The rain has really been slowing down progress on the exterior items. Some progress has been made on the bridge but it is slow going.

The floating steps look great and are almost done.

Fence work continues.

On the inside, we have mirrors in the powder and guest room.

The deck railing continues and is about half way done.

Smarter Homes has started all the AV work.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the bridge can be finished up this week in between the rain which is in the forecast for at least the next week.
