Full speed ahead.

Entering the stretch run now. Shooting for a closing in the first week of May.


Tile setters returned to do the kitchen backsplash and fireplace surround.  Looks good so far!

Our microwave will be installed (with flush-mount trim kit) in that empty cabinet.

Dinette chandelier is very sporty.

Family room fan...same as the bonus room fan.

County inspector approved the use of temporary utilities so that all systems can be checked and calibrated (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, gas).

Staircase and bookshelves were trimmed out by the carpenters.  Isidro and his crew will caulk, putty, prime, and paint at some point soon.



Progress Lighting "Alexa" vanity lights in guest bathroom.

Progress Lighting "Adorn" vanity lights in master bathroom.

A third chunky newel post sits at the top of the stairs, looking very stylish.

Love the oversize pickets!

Stairs and cute little handrail into the bonus room.

Tough-looking fan in the screened porch.  This guys moves a LOT of air around.

One of three LED flush mount "shop" lights in the garage.  Keeping it "green"!

Big Day.

Granite installers showed up at 9 AM sharp with our stones.  It took them about 3.5 hours start to finish, and everything is in and looking perfect.

Yaaay, my big island!

White Ice granite was absolutely the correct choice.  It's a knockout.

And the Danby Montclair marble in the guest bath is gorgeous!

To the right of the rangetop.

All done: sink mounted and secure, surface clean, and protected with plastic sheeting.



Hey look, it's two of the toilets!  LOLOL.  Kohler Elliston, very nice.

Left of the rangetop.

More Kohler bits...Archer pedestal sink and toilet.

Craig and his crew began the finish grading work, in advance of construction of the rain garden.



Future front lawn.

Front lawn looking toward driveway and the eponymous Pavilion in the distance.

Isidro and his crew continue to steam along with painting; these are the vanity doors for the guest bathroom.

Kitchen cabinet front sides were sprayed today; the back sides were done yesterday morning.

Left side of future back yard.

Future side yard.

My kitchen!  Looks pretty crazy at the moment, but it'll finish superbly.

More doors & drawer faces, just sprayed.

Right side of future back yard.  Rain garden will be straight ahead.

Future side yard runing alongside the driveway.  It was masterfully sculpted to funnel extreme amounts of storm water to the rain garden.

Cabinet painting has begun.

Isidro and his crew have spent the past several days prepping the cabinetry for painting.  Earlier today, they applied the first coat to several components.

Kitchen drawers and doors.

More kitchen doors.

Still kitchen doors.

Cabinet faces.  Crappy flash pic.

Another angle on the master vanity doors.  Smooooooth.
