Our New House Construction
02/09/11  - The fireplace has been built and the stove pipe has been placed up through the roof.  James Dixon has installed the cabinets in the bathrooms and pantry.  He has laid the title in the bathrooms and is now finishing up the shower in the master bathroom.  Frank Lewis, the stone mason, is due back on Friday to start the stone work on the fireplace.  The kitchen cabinets will be delivered on February 17th, the appliances on February 23rd.  As soon as Frank is finished the stonework the wood floors can start going in.  The spiral staircase should be delivered sometime this week and they can go in once the floor is in place.  We are getting close and expect to get our occupancy permit in March, or at least that is our goal.
