Exterior and Wiring

The house is right on schedule, so much so that my time to update #thedaventuresofdandf has been limited and I’m behind.

The outside of the house itself is pretty much complete, painting will happen later. There is patio to be poured and fences as well, but apart from stone finish at the front of the house, it’s done. Interior the wiring is done, including networking and the speaker wiring. The dry wall is also done, and at least as of yesterday most of the cabinets are in and the painters were working on the walls. Photo’s here are of the former, I’ll come back to the internal finish later.

We did the pre-framing walkthrough via Skype; since then we’ve done a second video tour, this time via Google Hangouts. The latter was more reliable and produced better quality video.

We are starting to get some use from the concrete stamp.
