The Flooring is In
The new bamboo flooring was installed this week in the whole downstairs of the house except for the old living room. They also installed the dishwasher and refrigerator. They installed most of the lighting in the kitchen and eating area - some of our lights are still on order and some we have yet to order. They also installed a custom made retaining wall around the double windows in the back of the basement.
Next week the stove will be installed and our kitchen will be fully operational again. They will be working on the molding around the edges of the floor. Our new table and chairs are also meant to be delivered late next week.

The Counters are Installed
Hello Vandy Construction Blog faithful. Another week has passed and we are hopefully closer to getting a working kitchen again. Things are starting to take shape and you can now finally get a good feel for how everything looks.
The counters were delivered and installed this week and the kitchen is really starting to come together. They also painted the kitchen, the fireplace room, and the new room. The siding is nearly complete. They ran out of siding and needed to order more (that takes about a week to come in) so all but one side of the house is complete. The shutters are not on the house yet, but the new siding looks very good.
Next week they plan to install the new flooring in the kitchen, fireplace room, and the new room. They also plan to install the lighting fixtures (if Leslie and I can find ones we like). Enjoy the pictures!

You can see the new sink and faucet on the left side and the new bar area on the right side of the picture below.

This is the living room wall - you can see our new microwave as well

A picture while they were putting it up
The new room is a blue color (I have no idea what the official name of the color is)
The new color of the fireplace room and kitchen. I think its meant to be tan in color, but it looks greenish to me. I think this color is called canvas sneaker (whatever that means).

Basement Is Painted
This week the basement was painted, the molding on the kitchen cabinets was completed, the siding was removed from the house, they started putting on the new siding, and they finished the fireplace surround.
The counter top people came this week to and measured for the counter. They will deliver and install the counter next week. The flooring for the kitchen and new room was also ordered and will be delivered next week.
The new lime green basement.
The newly painted stairway to the basement. A new step was installed at the bottom of the stairs and the half wall on the side of the stairs was cut back to make a landing at the bottom of the basement stairs.

They started to put the new siding on the back of the house. This work will continue next week.

Kitchen Cabinets are In
Last week they installed the kitchen cabinets painted the master bedroom and started to build the fireplace surround. The old siding is coming off the house right now, so next week you may get to see pictures of the new siding. Now that the cabinets are installed, the counter top guy is coming on Monday to measure for the new counter top.
Our master bedroom is now green.
They started work on the new fireplace surround.

The Kitchen Walls are Up
The sheetrock was put up in the kitchen last week and the spackling started. They also completed the other half wall/book case between the fireplace room and the new room. The new siding arrived and so did the new kitchen cabinets.
The new siding is now in the backyard. They may start to put this on the house next week.
Our garage is full of the new kitchen cabinets. They expect to install them next week after they finish spackling the sheet rock in the kitchen
The kitchen now has walls
A new sliding pocket door was installed between the kitchen and the living room
They also installed pocket doors leading into the living room in the front part of the new kitchen
Now both half walls/book cases are installed and the columns are complete
Here is what the bookcases look like from the other side

The Temporary Wall is Down
This past week saw the removal of the temporary wall. Now we can really start to see how the new room will fit in with the existing house. They also continued work on the kitchen - finishing the wiring, lighting and miscellaneous framing. The insulation is back in the exterior walls of the kitchen and the sheet rock will be added next week.
Our cabinets are also meant to arrive next week so once the sheet rock is complete the hanging of the cabinets will commence. Here are some updated pictures:

Standing by the new bay window in front of the house looking through the kitchen to the new room:
In the following picture you can see the half wall on the right side that will separate the fireplace room from the new room. A similar half wall will be built on the left side
Standing in the new room looking back towards the dining area. Here you can see the other side of the half wall:
A closer picture of the half wall and the column with some ideas on molding around the column for us to think about over the weekend:
