Just wanted to let everyone know that the larger side is finally done! We still have about a week left on the smaller side. I can't believe how many trips we made to Lowe's and Home Depot towards the end. There are just so many little things that you don't think about buying until you do a final walk through such as door stops, new light switch plates, towel holders, etc. Jay and I became a pro at painting doors and installing hardware. The house was just cleaned from top to bottom and is ready for show. I can't believe how much dust and dirt accumulated in the house because of everyone working, cutting wood and material, and painting. We are thankful to have such honest and hardworking people on our team. They have worked with us very well and have made this project easy on us. I always hear horror stories about contractors who never show up, take the money and run, or just do a crappy job. I am so happy to have found people who do just the opposite. For example, we have Jose who comes in on Saturdays, works 10-12 hour days, does quality work, and has a passion for what he does. I just want to say thanks to all of you! Our pool is also ready to swim in. Finally, after all this time of testing the alkalinity, acidity, chlorine, and everything else to go with a pool, it is done! Who would have thought that a pool would bring back memories of chemistry class! I still can't believe what the house looks like now compared to what it looked like in the beginning. I keep thinking this can't be the same house! Here are some pics showing the final product of the larger unit. (Pictures of the kitchen will be posted tomorrow, the battery on my camera died before I could make it to the kitchen :)
