Home Construction (Day 67 - October 16)

Today was "carpet day!"  (Isn't there some saying like "carpet diem!" or something like that?  Carpet the day?  No?  Maybe?  Hmm...  my Latin is rusty.)

So Uchi is basically done - except for a few small things they still have to touch up, such as:

  1.  Vacuum the carpet -- right now it's covered in carpet-fuzzballs
  2.  Clean all the windows (covered with stickers) and countertops (covered with dust)
  3.  Clean the bathrooms -- all the debris in the tubs is gross
  4.  Remove all the cardboard covering the floors
  5.  Install our remaining bedroom window, the one above the garage
  6.  Swap the two toilets which they installed in the wrong bathrooms!

They have 1 week to finish all these things, and then the home will be ready for inspection!

Here is all the progress they made today & yesterday

1. They added these wire shelves to the laundry room closet, to the main coat closet, the guest bedroom closets, the linen closet and walk-in closet.

2. Added hangers for toilet paper and hand towels to all the bathrooms.

 

 3. Carpeted the foyer, main room ("great room" or "living room" -- we keep hearing all these names, and they seem to all refer to the same room?), the stairs, all the bedrooms and closets (except for one closet in the laundry room, which would be silly to carpet, since the laundry room itself doesn't have carpets).

 

4. Installed the glass door of the master shower.

So, with today's interior work, our Uchi is basically DONE.  (Not counting the 5-6 items listed above...)
