There are also a lot of small things that haven't been completed -- mirrors in bathrooms, outside electrical outlets and water spigots, screen for the porch, staining a door and some railings, etc. But Scott says he can have it done by Wednesday so we can close Thursday. We're encouraged by the amount of work he did last week, so maybe he can.
Here are pictures we took yesterday:
I wanted the casings around the windows painted red, not just the wood parts of the windows and the sills. But it's such a small thing compared to everything else that has to be done that I'm not even mentioning it to Scott. I asked him to leave leftover paint and I'll paint the casings myself.
Stairs to the front porch were built last week.
Ceiling fans were installed on the side porch, which still has to be screened.
Scott ran out of rock for the outdoor fireplace and has to drive to Birmingham to pick up more. The faux stone is made by a company called Alluriam. The subcontractor installing it was at the house yesterday and said it's a good product.
Permanent underground electrical lines were not run until Thursday, and that (among other things) prevented the appraiser from filing a report last week. The green box houses electrical lines and all the lights, outlets, etc. in the house now work.
Downstairs bath
Workers installed ceiling fans last week. This one's in the downstairs bedroom.
Upstairs bedroom
A masonry subcontractor was installing the last of the stone on the fireplace while we were there.
The kitchen sink and faucett are in place.

Back of cabin. This view makes the house look bigger than it is because of the unfinished basement. Railings still need to be stained.
