Sorry--no pictures

Sorry, I once again forgot the camera when I was out this afternoon. The mudders are making good progress on the taping, in some spots I would say it is almost complete, maybe only one more layer of mud needed.
The flooring guy from Simply Floors in Okotoks was out today. He did all the measuring and should have a quote to us by tomorrow. Here is a sample of the tile we picked out: Slate Valley Ginger.
We will be going with laminate countertops for now, due mostly to timing. Templating granite after the cabinets were in would have put us to mid October without any sinks or countertops!!! Here is a sample of the laminate we went with: Formica Colorado Slate
We'll be out working on the house all weekend, and I think my parents are coming down for the day on Saturday, so we should hopefully get a fair bit accomplished!!
Check back after the weekend for pictures!!!

Only 38 more days....

The countdown is on....only 38 more days until we need to be in the house. We will be ordering our flooring tomorrow--tile, carpet, and hardwood. It will hopefully go in the second week of August--except maybe the carpets, as we will most likely wait until the railings are installed on Aug 14th. Once the floors are in, we can get the cabinets put in. Once the cabinets/vanities are in, we can then get all our plumbing put in. We will also be painting some where in there....... At this point, we really have to keep on top of things and be organized--who is coming in when, and what do they need done prior to arriving. Our garage doors are going in on Aug 2nd--bettter late than never---they were supposed to be in over 3 weeks ago......
The taping and mudding continued today. They have most of the corners/edges now taped upstairs, as well as most of the joints on the mainfloor taped. If they work at it all week, I would think they should get it finished--keep your fingers crossed.

Taping in the great room.

Siding--another 3 weekends and we should be done....

Working on the west wall--not fun in this heat!!!!
