Thread: My bride and I..............

Tweet

It’s been awhile since the last update. Between an anticipated slowdown in scheduling, a glitch with the drywall texturing, and my going off to a 50 year reunion of my old Vietnam flying outfit I haven’t been able to post up.

While some of the events completed don’t make for exciting pictures, a good number of items are on the list of accomplishments. The drywall got textured (with a small glitch causing a couple day delay), primed and then painted. While the paint crew was on site they also got the underside of the man door overhang stained along with the columns. As a pleasant surprise, the owner of the painting company asked if I enjoyed tamales. After I told him I’m a tamale-holic he gave me a dozen homemade chicken tamales with a delicious green chili sauce. Yummmmm mmmmeeeeeee! While they were doing their thing, another crew dug the hole for the footing that will serve the wall that will visually connect the garage to the house. Concrete was poured and the footing is done. Meanwhile the new garage doors, and the one being transferred from the attached garage, were installed. Also the stucco got its finish coat of final color in prep for the hanging of the stone on the lower portion of the walls and under the gables. While I was away the electrical was hooked up and activated, the utility sink with local heater installed, and the rock work began.

All things considered, we’re moving along pretty well despite a couple little delays.
