Punchlist

1st Week of December

Well, the end of November has come and gone, and unfortunately we are not in the house yet.  But we are getting close.  Close enough that Steve and I walked through the house on Saturday and prepared a "punchlist", writing down all the little things we saw that needed to be completed and/or repaired.  One reason we wanted to do this was to help the Builder focus on getting everything done.

Family Room - punchlist follow up

I went over to the house tonight to walk those rooms that will get carpet flooring.  Ideally everything on the punchlist has been addressed in these rooms, because the carpet is being installed in the morning!  All the Bedrooms except for the Master Bedroom will be carpeted.  The Family Room is the only room on the 1st floor that will have carpeting.  Most of the things on our punchlist had been done - the wall outlet covers are on, the dimmer switches for the ceiling lights are in place,  wall surface patching has been completed, and the floor has been cleaned and swept, ready for the carpet.  Unfortunately the fireplace is not completely installed, the hearth stone is not in place and the ceiling fan is not installed.  Now I will be worried about damage to the carpet when these items are dealt with.

Fireplace - not quite done yet



Tools have been moved out of the Family Room, and are now sitting in the  Eating area.  There is cardboard laid out to cover most of the wood flooring to protect it.  There is a big sign at the Garage entry door that everyone must remove their shoes before entering the house.

 

Stairs - still need a lot of paint touch-up

You can see a lot of wall touch-up in progress in the picture above.  The stair risers still need to be painted, and the treads and railings need another coat of stain.  But we are getting there.
